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.

It’s true that whatever G does is write and others are wrong. But which shouts louder will attract all the attention.
More than that Google showcased itself as as innovative company which brings lot of innovation into the computing world. So most of the bloggers keep an eye on Google more than anything in order to get topics for blogging.
So obviously you can see 2000+ blog posts for google changing favicon and very few posts for Yahoo! Finance.
