Wednesday, October 15, 2008. CreditKarma.com is Cool. I had the chance to meet with Ken Lin, the CEO of Credit Karma.

Compare credit score to others. Simulate how certain actions may affect your credit score, like taking out a new loan. Or paying down balances. Wednesday, October 15, 2008.

Paul Knag: May 2009

Friday, May 08, 2009. I Ditched My IPhone. I ditched my iPhone, in favor of a T-Mobile Blackberry 8900. The iphone is sleek toy and superior to the 8900 only its interface to play music and video. Still, I have 16Gigs of memory on my 8900 which will hold much more video for a lower price than the iPhone. The major downside of the iphone became apparent to me after a few months of use, the very inferior email interface, the lock-in to AT&T service. Friday, May 08, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, January 27, 2008. The Shortest Refinance Boom Ever? So it seems, despite the touting. Of IndyMac's Michael Perry that the lender had locked over a billion dollars in loans on January 23rd, that most were too late to the party. The above mortgage interest rate trend chart and Google Trends chart below show the short drop in rates compared to the spike in inquiries as borrowers responded in mass to headline news that mortgage rates had plunged.

Thursday, August 27, 2009. Google Mortgage Comparison Service. I wrote about the idea of Google offering. A direct to consumer mortgage comparison service over a year ago. Loads. 9 years ago Microsoft. Beat similar drums, word around the industry was that Microsoft was going to automate the lending process putting all of us out of business. Ballmer got on a big call to announce it, and then, well, nothing. The effort bombed. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Thursday, October 29, 2009. Posted earlier today on the Comparison Ads announcement. What I find interesting is this quote from the Google post:. AdWords uses a host of targeting and relevancy signals to determine the best ads for each query. However, sometimes a user's query doesn't provide enough information for us to confidently predict what they want. Take, for example, users who search for "mortgage." Do they want a new home loan or a refinance? Do they want a fixed rate or an adjustable rate loan?
