MATT HUNTER, HEAD OF MONEY PRODUCTS AT CONFUSED.COM COMMENTS ON GOOGLE’S FIRST MOVE INTO PRICE COMPARISON

Matt Hunter, Head of Money Products for Confused.com commented: “Google’s decision to sell credit cards seems poorly considered. Google is known for its innovation. This could have been an opportunity for Google to wow us all with a new “Google Earth”. Actually what has been unveiled is disappointing. This new offering lacks many of the features that have made Google’s search engine a great success. Gone is the impartiality of results, with only sponsored results shown. Gone is the ability to explore the detail, with only superficial product details shown. All in all, this system is years behind the service offered by the UK’s price comparison websites.” -ENDS- For further information please contact: Press office Confused.com 02920 434 398 Notes to editors About Confused.com: Confused.com is one of the UK’s biggest and most popular price comparison services.
