googleblog.blogspot.com — Today, the NYSE has moved the issue a great step forward with a proposal to the SEC which if approved, would allow you to see real-time, last-sale prices across all Google properties including Google Finance, Personalized Google, Mobile, and of course, Google.com.

Yea, most online trade accounts, if you have an account with them (normally free, but require minimum balance) will give you real time quotes.

@tuxidomasxUmmm no, nowhere near level 2. Read the NYSE proposal:<a class="user" href="http://apps.nyse.com/commdata/pub19b4.nsf/docs/E628DC95F399035185257261004E5D95/$FILE/NYSE-2007-04.pdf">http://apps.nyse.com/commdata/pub19b4.nsf/docs/E628DC95F399035185257261004E5D95/$FILE/NYSE-2007-04.pdf</a>All they'll be giving out is last price --- that's it. Not sure if it would be primary or composite. Anyway no volume information, no bid & ask sz/price. No order size. All that's included in level 1 buddy. Level 2 is actual individual orders going out over the wire (bids and offers), and actual trades. That is an enormous amount of data, particularly in volatile equities such as MSFT.So again, all you get is last price. Even with cheap-o trading account (such as Zecco.com) all you get is Level 1. If you want Level 2 and can afford Thompson One or Redi or whatever then great, but if you're not a day trader you probably won't ever need it.

What is important to the trader is to get real time bid/ask spreads, which this does not give, along with NASDAQ or any OTC stock quotes. So there will still be no real time quotes on GOOG yet, but this is a good first step. It is interesting that the brokerages were not able to get this done, but Google did.Now how are they going to monetize this? Will they put ads to the finance page now (like yahoo)? Maybe buying stocks through Checkout?

mfwarren ??? What are you saying ? Bloomberg provides you an API allowing you to get data. So you can save it in a database if you wish. I built a middleware doing that for portfolio management company. And it just took me 2 days to built a very flexible system to get and save financial data (stocks, index, etc...) from bloomberg.

I don't understand what's with diggers. Why must it be either Google Finance or yahoo Finance? Damn it. Can't you just use both? I use Google Finance for news. Yahoo Finance for charts. Stockalicious.com for my portfolios.They are tools. Use them. Don't discriminate against them.
