"Boring" services: who has good tech?

1 pointsby blazing_greyover 11 years ago
Car/renter/life insurance, plumbers, etc: the "boring" services of life. Which ones have good tech? This turns out to be surprisingly hard to research. I just had to buy a new car insurance policy from a company I started using back in 2007 because they were the only ones with full online policy management back then, and, well, a Flex app, OS-based browser detection, and PDF download pages that pretend to check if I have Acrobat installed later, I'm noticing that they haven't changed much since 2007.
