Google is now offering real-time stock quotes on its Finance service.
The G-Team announced the launch of up-to-the-second updates on NASDAQ securities at its official blog this afternoon. Engineers say real-time data has historically been limited to subscription-based services and brokers, leaving outside sites with delays as long as 20 minutes.
Google has been working on making the information more widely accessible for months. Product managers first blogged about their efforts back in January of last year.
