A word with Google France

“We found it didn’t work as well as we’d like” – Nick Leeder, general director at Google France, on the company’s defunct auto insurance comparison site. Rest assured, the company isn’t looking to enter the insurance space (with the exception of India), yet is looking to partner with insurers for the sake of some of its businesses including Nest, the one with the overhyped smart thermostat. Did you know? LesFurets is the French version of Compare The Market. Fear the fuzzy.
