In a continuing competition with Yahoo, Google has announced a financial service properly named “Google Finance”. The new service gives you 15-minute delayed stock quotes, and incorporates some very nice Flash. If you type in a stock quote, say IMAX for instance, it gives you a list of news stories on the right side of the screen, and in the charts, it points markers to when those news stories were released.
