Fireworks in Financial Services

Hope you've had a great 4th of July! I've briefly stepped away from the BBQ to write this post!

One of my favorite writers is tech columnist Robert X. Cringely, a weekly columnist for the PBS web site. He's got a unique style that's great fun to read. Today's column is no exception - it's a beauty that's titled "Independence Day: Because we're so much more than just consumers"

Cringely's had it with the loan referral sites on the web - saying he's looking for real solutions that "actually put consumers first and don't just say they do while selling our identities out the back door to some marketing mafiosi." He asks "so where is the next wave of financial start-ups that view ME, not Citibank, as the customer?"

Read his column - it's just great! Financial services fireworks on the 4th of July!
