Yahoo to Test Finance Widget
ADVERTISEMENTSSteve Rubel reports that will begin testing a new widget that will allow bloggers and other websites to put real time stock quotes and charts on their sites.
Initial testing will begin in June. Publishers will be able to select any combination of quotes, charts and news. Up to ten companies can be included, and there are at least two options for customizing the chart.
I am not so interested. What do you think?

I don’t understand why Yahoo! is putting out just financial widgets. Maybe they could have tried all purpose info widgets instead, where you can choose your topic. I wonder how much of an audience this’ll have.

This widget can be useful for certain bloggers. But how many? Only time can tell.

It makes a lot of sense if they incorporate a space to serve ads on the widget…financial firms are mega spenders on internet ads…think of Fido, Schwab, etrade…etc, etc, etc….
