My Yahoo Ticker
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Although it's been available for a while now, the My Yahoo! Ticker Beta is an option for people wanting stock news and quotes fed to their desktop.
Quotes and headlines are delivered direct to your windows task bar allowing you to continue working while maintaining contact with the market. RSS feeds can be setup over a range of topics, not just finance. Email notifcation, weather forecasts and more are also provided. There's also some search capabilities built in.
Another option is Yahoo! Widgets. With Windows Vista now released with a built in SideBar, Yahoo! Widgets may be a thing of the past. Windows XP can gain the benefit of dynamic applets to run on the desktop by using Yahoo! Widgets. Like the stock ticker option available from Yahoo!, finance isn't the only widget available. Widgets include RSS feeds, weather, email, system performance and 100's more.
Having data directed to your desktop can be extremely useful for people spending their days if front of the computer, but are too busy to scan the web to search for data they are interested in.
