  • The main points of Friday’s memo were to advance the idea that giving all market participants the same information simultaneously helps markets work better and to generate interest in having the U.S. compete (or less likely cooperate) with Europe to create a working and transparent market.

  • The Google Wave preview features several videos labeled “Promising Prototypes.” The prototypes are from SAP, Salesforce.com, and the MediaWiki Wave Project. The MediaWiki video is interesting and has a great soundtrack. More to the point of saving the credit markets, the SAP video concerns the development of financial services products. The Salesforce video wasn’t working at YouTube last time I tried it, but the “response” posted there (which pre-dates the Wave video) shows how easy it is to code these days.


    So how do you mash-up these various services to solve the credit crisis? Just start mashing with a simple goal in mind: make timely material information available simultaneously to the largest possible market. As many have noted, much or all of the information necessary to generate prices for asset-backed securities already exists in databases. The trick is making it available somehow for the market to use.
