The update to the portfolio page was pretty massive too. When I first loaded it up this morning I thought I had somehow navigated to the wrong page. It took a little getting used to but I realize that with each release they provide more in depth and useful detail. I actually do a lot of my planning and tracking of stocks within google finance and then just use my broker for trades/purchases (man do i sound like a google whore–the other kind)

Nice video, it’s nice that they can poke fun at themselves.

John, how about some stock tips :0)

Google Finance Restyling

Just read that Google Finance has been updated, after 6 months of “hard work” (so they say).
From my quick peek I found out that the huge differences are on the homepage and in a new way to add your Portfolio to your Google Personalized Hom…

1. Google still probably looks at what clicks users of the web page are doing and ensure that at least a good % of them find what they want with minimum number of clicks.

2. The information that has been added is definitely useful and am happy about the change. However one of the things that I have always liked and appreciated in all Google sites is the brilliant use of real estate. Most Google sites have an uncanny ability to keep only what is accessed for on the front page and everything else hidden. As far as I can see the current content on Google.com/finance is probably the maximum on any Google page. I would strongly advise that Google should refrain from adding any more information on the finance page.

2. Possibly Google can look at adding commodities information also on the finance page
