Posted by Gundy, Google Finance engineer Today, we're excited to release a Google Finance tab on iGoogle. This tab is a dashboard of financial gadgets which enables you to add, customize and share your Google Finance experience. But here's what's extra cool about these gadgets -- they now have communication skills and can "talk" or "sync" with each other. As part of this release, we're introducing a bunch of new gadgets, including: - Top Movers - SnapQuote - Related companies - Company overview - MiniChart - Company Sector Ready to see this tab in action? But wait, there's more! If you're a developer, we just made it easier for you to make a stock market gadget with our new API. The gadget API for market data provides a framework so developers can display stock market information from the American, Nasdaq and New York stock exchanges within a gadget on Google properties. Unfortunately, due to data licensing restrictions, we couldn't open...

Posted Matthew Simmons, Market Data Gnome We're pleased to announce the availability of pricing data for Australian (ASX) and New Zealand (NZX) listings on Google Finance .

Similarly, if you'd like to find the current price for stock in Billabong, you can search for it by name , as BBG.AX ,or as ASX:BBG . As always, if you notice any problems, please let us know . It may take us longer than we'd like to resolve reported problems, but we do read every report.

Posted by Russell Leidich, Google Finance 20% Engineer You may have heard the idiom "green with envy". It refers to a strong feeling of desire to experience the same good fortune experienced by someone else. I must admit: that's exactly how I feel with respect to what I call the "Green Stock Boom". And what better time to examine green energy investments, than today, Blog Action Day ? It's starting to feel a lot like 1999 in this industry, and it would pay to have some insight into who might be the next Amazon.com ( AMZN ), rather than a glitzy second-tier competitor who ultimately fails to grow its profits. At its very roots, I think, the Green Stock Boom is about human survival: we must avoid the fate of the Easter Island civilization, and many others like it, whose population collapsed amid resource wars spurred in the wake of exponentially expanding consumption in the presence of limited resources.

Posted by Matthew Simmons, Market Data Gnome What's hot in the world of finance? At least one correct answer must be "China". Over the past several years, the world has seen the economy of this enormous nation grow at a breakneck clip. The local stock markets have followed, showing unparalleled growth in value within the global market. In some Chinese circles, individual investing has become a near obsession; the topic is rumored to dominate discussions at coffee houses and at the dinner table.

Google Finance has heard the clamor, and we're pleased to be able to improve our service for the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges by providing pricing data in real time. Are you interested in intraday movements in the Bank of China ? Or perhaps Yunaan Copper , a large Copper mining group listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange? Now you can get the answer, in real time. We hope you enjoy your ...
