Google just announced that they’ll be providing stock prices in real time on the Google Finance website. As expected, the news is currently the top story at Techmeme.
A similar announcement was made by Yahoo! last week when they said that real time prices for US stocks would be available on Yahoo! Finance for free.
The two pieces are very similar but there’s one difference, none of the sites covered Yahoo! even though Yahoo! Finance is more popular than Google Finance.
PS: The news that Google changed its favicon has been covered by 2000+ sites.
