real time quote from google!

i’ve been working on some finance portals from time to time

and in hong kong, real-time quote is not free, we can only check the delayed quote in yahoo finance

recently google announced that they provide REAL-TIME quote for NYSE and NASDAQ market

well, i’m not sure if real-time quote is free or not in US

but i’m quite sure google is the pioneer on finance tool

just compare the stock screener between google and yahoo

yahoo

http://screen.yahoo.com/stocks.html

google

http://finance.google.com/finance/stockscreener

it’s like a 1.0 between 2.0

no wonder the future of yahoo is so dim…

even for a stock screener, we can sense they don’t focus on technology, r&d
