Delayed online stock prices may soon be a thing of the past

From the Google blog:

At Google, we get excited about making all kinds of information accessible to everyone. The more up-to-date the information, the more valuable it is. This is particularly true in the world of finance; information, and timing of that information, is money. Today, real-time quotes are not freely and easily available on the web. Some websites offer one real-time quote at a time, but typically only after you have enrolled in a service and/or signed a complicated legal agreement. Other sites approach the problem differently and show you streaming delayed data, but that doesn't solve the problem either -- it masks it. What's really important is getting free, easy and fast access to real-time quotes so you know how the market or your company is doing now, not as of twenty minutes ago.

The program *MAY* be autoupdating now

Ok, so after some serious recoding, I think I have the program auto-updating the stats and leaderboard every 15 minutes. You may see a delay in the reflected leaderboard totals of up to 15 minutes depending on how this works, but it should provide a fairly accurate update all day long, Monday through Friday. Keep an eye on it, and let me know if anything goes wonky - for example, every so often a stock may update with a '0' if there is too much network traffic. It SHOULD resolve itself on the next update - but if it doesn't drop me a note!

Whew, off to do some paid work now :)
