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.

A First Look at the New Yahoo! Finance Charts Beta

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?

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.)

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
