Finance

If you happen to know any Google Finance users, have pity on them - they're probably feeling a bit disconcerted (and not just because the Dow's down 254.16 points).  Google Finance is testing some new site designs, and feedback so far has been less than positive.

Bloomberg Television has reached a deal with AOL to provide video on AOL's Money & Finance portal.

Finance junkies have probably noticed by now; even the fast-paced world of tech news is slow for people who spend all their time hitting "refresh."  Still, the existing Google Finance sites have received an overhaul, and Google Finance China has launched.

We haven't yet been promised an update, much less a timeline or any specifics relating to its release.  Still, users of Google Finance have been asked to fill out a rather long survey, and it looks like this is a chance for people to influence the service's future.

Yahoo wants to beef up its leading Finance site with videos, and will add CNBC content to the mix.

AOL will go head to head with Yahoo Finance as well as competition from Google and Microsoft, with all of these big Internet players looking for valuable financial news readers.

Google’s allowed many of its products and services to grow old and moldy, and one of the most high-profile examples of this is Google Finance.  In theory, the site wouldn’t just appeal to some small niche group, but nonetheless, Google Finance isn’t really going anywhere.

Google Finance Canada is coming!  Actually, an announcement may have stated that it was already here, but the Official Google Blog has been updated to say, “Oops.  We hit the button too soon.  Watch for news about Google Finance in Canada next Tuesday.”
