Watch your stocks in Google Calendar
For some bizarre reason, the Official Gmail Blog has announced a new feature for Google Calendar that is powered by Google Finance. Nevertheless, it's a pretty cool new trick: now, you can search for your favorite stock symbol in Google Calendar to add a repeating all-day event of that stock's closing price each day. If you've been looking for an easy, casual way to keep track of a few stocks without having to dive into more serious solutions, this is a great way to keep an eye on a stock over time.

We are starting up a new little feature at the Download Squad called Googleholic. Googleholic will be broadcast twice a week profiling a few smaller but interesting Google facts, tips, and news items. So let's get started!
A First Look at the New Yahoo! Finance Charts Beta
Earlier this week Yahoo! announced changes that would roll out soon to upgrade aspects of the Yahoo! Finance property. One of these changes, and probably the most significant for daily users, is the completely overhauled Stock Charts.
When Google rolled out Google Finance property, most of the hubbub around their offering was the dynamic charts. These hadn't been seen before anywhere and had a lot of "kewl" factor in them. Even without the kewl charts, Yahoo! continued to be the most comprehensive and most visited financial resource on the web. And now, Y! is rolling out their version of dynamic stock charts with lots of "kewl" factor. Read on for an overview of the new features and my thoughts.

Rumor Alert: Google Finance?
This one
falls firmly into the wild speculation category, but Search Engine Journal is reporting that this morning it saw a number of referrals from google.com/finance. The requests came from Google IPs and the referrers included
queries for "GOOG," Google's stock symbol, and led to SEJ's most recent articles about Google. This would
seem to indicate that google.com/finance is a site that rolls stock information, business news, and other relevant
Google content into one portal. Google PR is characteristically mum, saying only, "We’re always exploring
opportunities to expand our offerings, but don’t have anything to announce at this time." I agree with SEJ:
The fact that Google Finance has its own google.com URL (and not just an internal Google IP) would seem to indicate
that whatever it is, it's pretty close to launch. (And yes, the "logo" above is faked by me.)[Via Jeremy Zawodny]
