is it Yahoo PlaceFinder API better than Google Geocode API?
besides that yahoo allow more requests/day
but i noticed an interesting bug/case
if I search for "Via Turati, Milan", I would expect to get as result "Via Filippo Turati, 20121 Milan"
you can see google and yahoo results:

http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?q=via%20turati%20milano
as you see Yahoo gives me one shot, that is correct, whereas Google gives me several choices wich none of them are good enough...
bad for me i built an app with google but now i'm thinking of moving to Yahoo...
before doing it...someone know if i'm doing something wrong with google api?
Yahoo has better error handling. For example if you query for a street number which google cant find. Google's server will slap you an error. Where as yahoo' will gracefully respond by returning the centeroid of that town...
