Google Finance gets update, and people hate it
Last night Google rolled out a fresh new version of Google Finance, and instantly people went on the offensive by attacking everything from the organization of data to the font being too small. Some have even accused it of being too “Yahoo!”.
But think about it — as far as financial websites go, Yahoo! Finance has (by far) the majority of users. Average users who use Google Finance once a month because they have a couple shares aren’t the people Google wants to be catering to. They want the same audience Yahoo! has, and that’s why I think this new interface might actually be good.
I would love to from investors who use Yahoo! Finance on a daily basis. What do you think of the new Google Finance interface? Is it more competitive with Yahoo! Finance, or is it still very sub-par? Personally, I don’t have anything against the new look — but I’d like to hear what you think.
