Financial Blogs

Posted by Ayan Mandal, Product Manager

And … we’re back. You can once again view blogs and plot feeds on Google Finance charts. Access to blogs provides a greater range of information than conventional news alone; plotting a particular feed lets you view its information in the context of a stock’s performance.

Click the ‘Blogs’ tab from any company’s summary page, and you’ll see the blogosphere’s coverage of that company plotted along the chart. Or, if you want to plot specific blogs on the chart — blogs you know, blogs you search for, or blogs you write — click the ‘Feeds’ tab. Search for a blog or type its URL, and the blog posts will be plotted on the company’s chart, making it easy for you to discover the blogs that provide high-quality analysis and breaking news.

Try this feature out and let us know what you think. Stay tuned for more as we continue to enhance Google Finance.

We’re working feverishly on a fix and will let you know as soon as these features are back up.

If you’re experiencing any technical difficulties, we encourage you to visit the Google Finance Help Center.
