Dave reports on the new Yahoo Finance news feeds for Radio.  The next step is to get closing bell charts and data via RSS that I could post.  It would also be great to have charts and data tables for stocks that can be pasted into a Web page.  That way, I could build shortcuts in Radio that let me involk a chart and table for any stock I put in double quotes.  Like this: Last Trade 4:00pm · 9.08 Change -0.67 (-6.87%) Prev Cls 9.75 Open 9.58 Volume 8,323,507   Day's Range 9.00 - 9.65 Bid 9.04 Ask 9.11 P/E N/A Mkt Cap 5.453B Avg Vol 11,246,590 52-wk Range 8.02 - 21.35 Bid Size 1,000 Ask Size 400 P/S 7.57 Div/Shr 0.00 Div Date 11-Feb-00 1y Target Est 16.53 EPS (ttm) 0.00 EPS Est 0.13 PEG 3.00 Yield N/A Ex-Div 14-Feb-00 [John Robb's Radio Weblog]   Imagine tracking CCOP vendor stocks via this feed. 1:39:53 PM

Bruce Loebrich already has built newsfeeds from Google's major topic areas. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] 1:36:44 PM

Ok, here is a little more fun with filtered news feeds.  I used Google to search news items based on source (the NYTimes) and topic keyword (blog).  This feed pulls the most recent story in that mentions the NYTimes and blog.  Here is what this looks like.  With a couple tweaks I will get the summaries too with the keyword highlighted in the text. Reporters Find New Outlet, and Concerns, in Web Logs New York Times - 11 hours ago [Google NYTimes weblog feed] I could combine this using RSSDistiller in an hour or two to create a combined newsfeed that pulled filtered news on weblogs from the NYTimes, BBC, The Guardian, and any other major source available on Google.  There might be a way to package this so all you need to do is set in the keywords you want to filter and set the news sources you want to include.  Nice. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]   DEFINITELY need to look at this 1:35:07 PM
