This is one area that google just doesn't get it:

Look at their front page: http://finance.google.com/finance

Readibility (i am not sure this word exists), is aweful, it looks like a mess of random things placed on a white page.

This is one of the features that yahoo actually does a decent job: http://finance.yahoo.com/

Sure, it looks like an average portal page, but it does the job. Much easier in the eye.

I disagree.

If you look at how they arrange data around a symbol (e.g. http://finance.google.com/finance?q=KO) it's much better than Yahoo's version.

In particular, tying news updates to price points on the chart (as well as updating prices and volumes on mouse over) is excellent.

Another nice touch is putting the latest price and tick in the html page's title tag, so I can see what's happening even while in another browser tab.

until last year Goog finance was trailing heavily after yahoo finance. I know that the best product doesn't always win, but in this case it seems that users like Yahoo finance much better. Yahoo! Finance Market Share 52 times Bigger than Google Finance http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/070319-114123

Perhaps things have changed this year, with the release of the real-time quotes.

I have always found the Google Finance site easier to use. Even at the time they trailed in functionality, just getting round and finding information was a lot easier.

You are right. Google Finance sucks. I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to draw a candlestick chart and gave up. On Yahoo - it takes less than a second to make the chart display exactly as I want.

How is this news? Didn't this come out 4 months ago?

pavel• 18 years ago

It says its new on http://finance.google.com/. I doubt Google would mark it new for 4 months.

It must have been out in March, because I was able to complain that it didn't work then:

This has been around for at least few months now. I like it because it's much more user friendly and faster compared to the one at my brokerage account, without the hassle of logging in.

Stock Screeners have been around for a while, The one that I like (not necessarily for aesthetics but for data quality and quantity)

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was potential acquisition for Digg. Google+Digg rumors have been on for quite some time now.

It would be nice to be able to back-test screens over specified time periods.
