Here Comes Google Again

Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG - news) is introducing a financial news, stock quote and chat service that seeks to shake up the online finance information market now dominated by Internet media rivals and online brokers.
ADVERTISEMENT

The Web search leader said late on Monday that it has begun offering a trial version of the service called Google Finance that uses a keyword search system to help consumers target information on public and private companies and mutual funds.
Features aren't rolled out yet. This is just the warning shot before they buy an established company or just build it themselves if no established company has a really cool feature they want.

Quote:
FINANCIAL NEWS, QUOTES, BLOGS

Google Finance can be found at http://finance.google.com and links to it appear in a featured area at the top of general Google search results pages when users search for stock or corporate information that appear to be finance related.

Beneath the finance-focused search box at the top of the Google Finance main page are sections that provide summaries of the market, stock quotes and links to news, blogs and moderated-finance group discussions.

One of the more novel features of the site gives user the ability to view financial news alongside historical price charts over various time frames. As the user zooms back in time, the news results change with the date.

The site identifies financial stories within Google News, the company's existing news search site that features articles from roughly 4,500 different sources. By contrast, Yahoo's financial news relies on three dozen top editorial brands.
That gets interesting. The mainstreaming of blogs is here. And linking Google News is a no-brainer. The "wow" feature Google always seems to introduce is the shifting historical news results.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

BTW, I just looked at it for 2 of my stocks and it blows MSN's Money Central and Yahoo away. I'm in love again. Darn you, Google people.

And I just got my notification that my Google Creator account has been enabled. I'm playing with it in another window right now.

It's like the page creator thing for Geocities, but doesn't take forever and a day to load.

George, I don't do financial stuff, but I do like to check the stock chart for my husband's company from time to time. This didn't show up on the page on Google like it does at Yahoo, and I didn't readily see it available. Did i just miss it?

Maybe. Or maybe it's just wonky because it's in beta. PM me the name and I'll try it.
