Yahoo Tweaks Finance

Michael Arrington

21 comments »

Yahoo Finance is launching a volley of tweaks to its Finance site tomorrow. The changes include the addition of interactive stock charts, improved message boards and business-related video clips from ABC.com, CNN.com, Forbes.com and SmartMoney. Yahoo will also be releasing a finance widget for websites, which we wrote about in mid-May.

The changes are clearly in response to Google Finance, which was released in March 2006.

Google Finance has not grabbed significant market share since its launch - Yahoo by comparison is the largest finance related website by page views. It boasts 10 million unique visitors and 467 million page views per month. About 1.5 million people a day visit Yahoo Finance. (source: comscore, June 2006)

Gotta try it out before i can say if i like it(the new changes) but Yahoo! Finance is much better(at least i think so) than Google Finance at the moment.

Yahoo! Finance has always been one of favorites, and a model of simple and powerful design principles. Features I have enjoyed: 1. ability to string together various quotes in the URL seperated by commas (like gm,ibm,goog). 2. Realtime Sparkline graphics. 3. Image server decoupled from the other server. 4. News feeds decoupled from other server. 5. Yet everything is grouped and arranged nicely, based on whatever you specify in the URL.

So this was always one of my models of good design ideas, and I will be eager to see what it looks like later today — and I hope they don’t mess up my favorite parts.

Is it going to use Flash for the interactive charts?

Do any of these allow me to select certain companies and track them as my own index?

I would choose telecom and television (cable/satellite) companies and equipment manufacturers (cisco, slingbox, etc.) to get a picture of the entire consolidating telecom industry.

The charts and list of comparable companies is the only thing I use GFinance for now. If Y! does theirs the same way, back I go.

BTW telecommer - slingbox is not public.
