SaneBull

SaneBull has launched two new plugins for their stock tracking service. It's pretty neat. One is for Wordpress and the other is for everyone else. The Wordpress plugin is very easy as anytime you add a stock quote to your blog entry, it will automatically convert it to a SaneBull optimized quote. You put your mouse over the stock symbol and a small window appears with the latest quote and volume. A click on the quote gets you even more information. It's very cool and almost like intellitxt for stock quotes!
