Google recently launched Google Finance Beta for users to search for and find financial information about public and private companies, as well as mutual funds. It is poised to take on Yahoo! Finance, and other financial portals.

• Interactive Charts – Google Finance takes financial charts one step further by mapping market data with corresponding news stories in one interactive chart, so users can track news to stock performance.

• Search – Unlike many financial sites, Google Finance lets users search for public and private companies, as well as mutual funds, using both company names and ticker symbols. Users can also search for companies by the names of management team members
