InsWeb Corporation formerly operated an online insurance marketplace designed to allow consumers to compare insurance products and rate quotes from a variety of providers. In 2011, it sold its business to Bankrate.〔(Bankrate to buy InsWeb's businesses for $65 mln )〕 The surviving company is now known as Internet Patents Corp.〔(Rancho Cordova's InsWeb Corp. is now Internet Patents Corp. )〕 InsWeb does not provide insurance directly. The company connects consumers with multiple providers via a proprietary online technology platform. Customers receive price quotes for the various insurance products they choose and are contacted by outside insurance agents and/or companies to continue the purchasing process. In conjunction with the consumer-facing insurance quote system, they also operate a lead generating site as a marketing source for insurance agents. 〔(Reuters Moneyline.com )〕 ==History== InsWeb was founded in 1995 by Hussein A. Enan〔(thefreelibrary.com )〕 and Darrell Ticehurst and became a publicly traded company in 1999.〔(sacramento.bizjournals.com )〕 InsWeb created the first online insurance marketplace. InsWeb.com was the first website that allowed a user to receive multiple insurance quotes from multiple providers by filling out a single form. In the 4th quarter of 2010, InsWeb acquired Protreo Media Corporation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「InsWeb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
