Product Ideas Submissions: Coming to a close

Posted by Laura Hughes, Consumer Operations

Here on the Google Finance team we are committed to adding valuable new features with every launch. Six weeks ago we launched a ‘Product Ideas page for Google Finance’ push in which we invited you to submit and vote on feature ideas for our site. During the series, over 5,000 of you submitted 3,700 ideas and 38,000 votes. Now, as the series is winding down, here’s a look at some of your top ideas and what we have implemented so far.

What you voted for:

Launched! New Mobile Interface: A new mobile interface was the top idea on the Product Ideas page before we launched it.

Launched! Big Charts : Bigger charts have always been a top feature request and since launching this feature in August it’s become one of our favorite tools.

Top Ideas
The top ideas are a mix of portfolio charting, data/market requests, and education tools. Although we don’t have these yet we’re always working on new ideas.
  • Portfolio Charting: "Show historical graph of portfolio, complete with dividends, splits, etc." "A chart to see how your earnings fluctuated in your portfolio's investments...”
  • Alerts: "Generate alerts based on stock, option, indices events. For e.g. change in volatility,"
  • Institutional and Insider Ownership: "Show % of outstanding stock held by institutional investors, and insider holdings/transactions."
  • Dictionary: "The ability to click on different financial terms (like p/e, market cap, etc) and get background on them"
  • Economic Indicators: “Add historical data for CPI, GDP, unemployment rate, etc. (Ability to compare graphically vs. the S&P500)"

You have a few more days before this series of Google Finance Product Ideas is closed, so jump in and vote now.

Thank you for all the valuable feedback and Ideas. Stay tuned as we implement your top ideas on Google Finance and catch the latest from the Google Finance team by following us on Twitter.

Google Finance portfolios will now accurately reflect the split, showing your purchase of 100 shares in Transactions view, but accurately reporting your current holdings as 300 shares in Performance view. At the same time, your cash value will now be $2,459.69, thanks to all the dividends GE has since your purchase. For those of you who have been monitoring your stock performance, we know that...
