Review: BusinessWeek's charts STILL take the crown for the BEST technical indicator charts available - who needs Google's? Yahoo's charts are just pathetic... BigCharts/Marketwatch are second place to BusinessWeek's - the java charts are nice for drawing your own trendlines....

Review: No doubt Google is doing the best job. Google Finance adds one more feather in its crown. But it has a long way to go in these field with competitors like Yahoo and MSN. I would suggest that Google being one of the largest databases it can start the voice Internet facilities on its own.

Review: Google is doing what it can to improve the "stickiness factor." Unfortunately, as usual with Google these days, too little and too late. Yahoo has already done a tremendous job with this aspect of content. MSN, while a shade below Yahoo, also beats out the Google offering. It seems that Google is proving itself, over and over again, to be a one-trick pony--that being search. I'm sure Google is praying its brand power holds out. Technology certainly won't do it in the long run.

Review: I use Google a lot, but I don't think I would be moving to Google finance right now. I think Google Finance has to go a long way to attract people from Yahoo Finance. I wish Yahoo Finance had interactive charts!

Review: Google is doing a great job in attracting visitors to stay longer with an extra incentive of Finance. Neat interface, I like the way one has easy access to executives information, Google's idea of partnering and blog news is great. But there is room for lots of improvement. Obviously Google will improve on this beta. But I feel Yahoo Finance has a more professional look, wealth of data, information on personal finances, and investing. I, as a student, found those very useful.

Review: Simply put, the interactive stock chart and corresponding news articles put any Yahoo feature to shame.

Review: Thanks to everyone for your comments. Obviously, this is Google's first stab at finance, and it says it plans to make improvements and welcomes your suggestions. No clutter and ease of use are plusses in my book. Ron Graham asked for specifics about Yahoo! Finance. If you spend a few minutes there you'll find how rich Yahoo's site is, with not only news and original columns, quotes pages with stock charts and financial data, but also areas for retirement and planning, taxes, and banking. I like its ETF Center. I don't get "lost" on Yahoo. I hope that helps...

Review: Of course, the blabosphere is posting like crazy about Google Finance. However, the best thing to do is pop the stock symbol in Google's standard search. If you do that, you will have all these finance sites available to you: 1. Google Finance 2. Yahoo Finance 3. MSN Money 4. MarketWatch 5. CNN Money 6. Reuters And, as Jim Cramer says: "Do your homework." Well, with these six sites available, you can do your homework.

Review: What I like about Google features, over all the rest, is the uncluttered, fast, and easy to use nature of the page. Yahoo is not like that. I often get lost in their plethora of links and wrong turns. The Yahoo message boards in finance are pretty good though.

Review: I agree the site is feature deprived and I'm such a detail person. It's similar to the lack of substance found on the Google "home page." As great as Google is they seem to function in a warp when it comes to real people skills.
