I still find interesting that google seems to get the data from yahoo services, or at least they point to them when you need detailed data.
Yahoo is better when you need info about financial news. I guess that's one of the reasons yahoo doesn't gets so many visitors - the bests things they do are things that nobody needs (how many people needs to get info about stocks, really?)

Are you fucking serious? Maybe people who own stocks? Like me? Or who are thinking about buying a particular stock? Like me.
Honestly, what individual who cares about their financial future *doesn't* need that information.

Google Includes Search Results Posted by CmdrTaco tomorrow from the and-you-thought-we-were-reaching-yesterday dept.
De Mol writes "Google now offers search results. Search for something like "dupe" and you'll get a bunch of links to Slashdot! Nifty!"
Okay, seriously...

I love Google just as much as anyone else, but this is getting ridiculous. Google has displayed stock information for stock symbols in searches for quite a long time now. Certainly long enough that it doesn't require a front-page story on/.

They also had Google Scholar out for a year, but that didn't stop slashdot from posting about it as if it were new.
In related news, Slashdot's DUPE search function is permanently broken.

Google have been doing this for a long time now. Probably a couple of years. Why has/. been reporting all of these "new features" for services which have been around for a long itme?
"Now you've done it! This was going to lead to 2 more Slashdot stories."
Only 2?
NYSE as well, but why is this news...

Grabbing delayed stock quotes from various sites is nothing new. Why does everyone drool and hoot every time Google adds yet another feature. Why not the same level of excitement when Forbes.com provides quotes or Yahoo. What's so extraordinary that it merited a Slashdot story?
Is Slashdot selling ad space for Google? And, if so, how much does one have to pay to get featured as a Slashdot story.

Why is Google constantly being mentioned on the front page, for completely trivial, non-stories? I cannot believe that Slashdot editors are really just that stupid or incompetent, so there must be some other reason.
My guess: Slashdot (or VA) is trying to sell themselves to Google. They're jealous of the other buyouts, and want their piece of cash.
For shame.
Sorry guys, but the collective sucking of the Google dick and the gentle smooching of the Google ass is not going to do it.

Can't you see that CmdrTaco is just bothering you guys?! Didn't you ever have a kid brother or sister? Rule #1 about being an older brother: when kid sibling complains that they don't like something you do, find every conceivable imaginative way to keep doing it. This usually provides you with untold hours of fun - that is until your kid sibling grows up and realizes what's going on. The only problem here is that there's no mommy to go cry to, so the only way to actually deal with it is to ignore it. No reaction = no fun for older brother.
next on /.: Google anounces new feature!

... before google really starts going after profits more agressively by starting to monkey with services like their search engine. They're doing great right now because there is a transition from traditional advertising to Internet advertising with Google owning that space, but at some point the growth WILL slow down and there will be a bigger emphasis on profits since the top line growth is slowing down. That will make things like paid placement and other currently "taboo" things very attractive to them.
Hopefully they can keep the innovation engine going to keep their growth rate up.

This google dupe thing on/. is getting downright creepy. Google services and search features are very well docmuented at google.com, thank you very much. We don't need to see it on the front page of/. unless it is absolutely brand-spankin' new (e.g. released that day) or some "secret" undocumented feature.

Nice going tex - now google is slashdotted, when will people learn?
I point you to the comment yesterday regarding the "news" about Google Scholar.
Seriously, between all the non-news and dupes lately, Slashdot is going downhill in a hurry.
Google also has information about New York (NYSE) and American (AMEX) stock exchange traded stocks.

This has been around for a year or two, it's not revolutionary.
