Well, let me explain this briefly:

1.I want to build a website that provides location based services, like http://fireeagle.yahoo.net/ .

2.I guess most of these services have something do with longitude and latitude.

3.Is there any particular database/datastore/data structures fit well for such apps? I mean easy to store longitude, latitude and easy to compute or easy to use.

I am new to this and any feedbacks are welcome
