I complained a while ago about WaMuWhooHoo, which (at the time) seemed another spurious webineering attempt by a corporation that thinks it can spam Twitter the way it spams my Gmail account. I was wrong.

Here is a sampling of some twittering I’ve seen from their account:

• A good consumer stays in debt! WhooHoo!
• We always share customer data . . . for optimal marketing saturation.
• Our overdraft fees are now $33.00!
• We suck the least!

So, clearly, this is not some asinine marketing ploy by a half-clueless corporation that takes its communication cues from Robert Scoble (or from their 16-year-old kids). Instead, it’s the quasi-legal emotional core dump of a man who’s either been screwed on overdraft fees or really likes Wachovia. Power to you, sir.

Cheryl just pointed me towards Kiva, one of the best web sites I’ve ever laid eyes on. Microfinance firms around the world sign up and create profiles for each of their entrepreneurs who are seeking funds. You, the fat-cat Westerner who makes more than $1 a day, can make loans to these folks through the website in a matter of minutes.

The idea is that these entrepreneurs can email you with updates on how they’re using your money, and eventually they start paying you back through the same process. It’s not really going to supplant any of the charitable giving I already make (especially since it’s not tax-deductible). But I’m still really excited about it.

I didn’t think it would be this soon that Google would feature direct-to-cortex integration.

Last week, Karl told me about a site that could show housing prices on an interactive map, with some neat effects (like a heat map of a metro or regional area). But I couldn’t remember the name. Wasn’t it something like “zooloo“?

Nope. But Google still figured it out for me. “Related searches: zillow, home value”

That’s it, Zillow. Sort of like “zooloo”, except not at all.

The only logical conclusion is that, without telling me, Google has signed me up for its beta service that somehow uses WiFi antennas to directly infer search terms from my brain. I wouldn’t put it past them. Smart guys.
