Steve Rubel report that Yahoo Finance will begin testing a new widget that will allow bloggers and other websites to put real time stock quotes and charts on their sites.
Initial testing will begin in June. Publishers will be able to select any combination of quotes, charts and news. Up to ten companies can be included, and there are at least two options for customizing the chart.
This isn’t something I’d include on TechCrunch, but there are a lot of blogs and websites dedicated to discussing certain public companies. It’s perfect for them.

This is a great idea.
I’d love to try that on my blog!

Yahoo never stops changing.
Yahoo’s such a tease! I wonder if the widget will be contextual and able to display quotes for ticker symbols discussed in blog posts?
Love Yahoo Finance but I hope they can get the tsx stocks PE’s working
Yep..it will be even better if it is contextual.

Is it me, or is techcrunch becoming a little over crowded with ads?
This looks very very kewl.
@Joel.. Gotta make hay while “TC” is still green

Oh man, that’s really slick. Great scoop Mike!
It looks pretty neat. If I had a blog about stocks and investing I would be very interested in such a widget. There are more cool and neat innovations occuring all the time. I think an oil price widget would be very interesting these days.

Uh, first Yahoo has to get THEIR quotes working first.
Mu gut feeling is that this Finance widget will be one of the most popular among the Yahoo widgets galaxy.
Looks like an outstanding tool, and I happen to have the perfect blog to test it on… Expect me to be in the front of the line when the Initial Testing begins this June…
