I sure hope this is solid news. I've been looking for an easy to use package that intergrates everything and makes it easy. Of course free is always good http://news.independent.co.uk/business/news/article352545.ece
Surprised it hasn't come sooner actually. But it will be interesting to see what inovations they've come up with for this sector of information.
I just checked it http://www.google.com/finance Great and a very well ordered display. It rocks! Now, still gpay's missing to round it up
Their stock charting system seems very nice. The portfolio tracking system seems cool too. This is definitely a blow to Yahoo.
Very nice tool sorry Yahoo I really like the graph sliding bar as well as the event pins. I hope that G will add a stock/ind/fund compare tool
i'll take the contrarian view here. 'financial news/info'? so far google hasn't produced anything spectacular that is peripheral to its search engine. don't get m wrong, goog still has the best search engine by far. but everything else it has produced either blows, isn't new, a "me too" or just has no long-term application (earth?). why try to copy Yahoo? they have enough money and smart, creative people to make innovative moves, not this kind of mediocre stuff. just my worthless opinion.
Finally a non-Google Fanboy opinion. I totally agree. I think everyone in that office is to busy playing in the ball pit with there pet dogs to acutally get any work done. Unfortunetly Google is reminding me of Enron way to much these days. Heres a quote from a news article about this service.
the new Google Finance is pretty innovative in some areas (pannable/slidable chart) and mouse-over board profiles with pics.
beat me to the punch. for those who havent seen it, here she is: http://www.google.com/finance?q=DELL
