Google’s efforts at one-stop shopping continued unabated. This time it’s Google Finance, which has just added streaming financial and market news to its existing mix of financial information.
The Official Google Blog trumpets: “Streaming keeps information fresh.” Users of Google Finance will be able to watch as stories on finance develop “minute by minute, throughout the day. News will be available either on the Google Finance homepage or a page dedicated to market news. News will be streamed from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., eastern Standard Time.
Google justifies itself: “Financial information doesn't exist in a vacuum. News can stimulate trades, and trades of one stock can have broad market effects. Figuring how to organize all of that information and make it useful is crucial — and that's what we're working on.”
And, says the Google Blog, “there is still a long way to go, so stay tuned for more updates.” Will the joy that is Google never end?
