Hello,

I´m looking for a software, thats checks Internet Pages (for example
www.yahoo.com) and collects for example stock data every minute and
present this data in a software, that you can put on your software. It
does not just collect this stock data. It can collect every Data on
the site you like and control this data every Time and shows the right
data on your desktop every time it changes. It is like a kind of
desktop monito for different Data from different wesides.

Who can help?

Hi,

There are many services provided by the msn messenger and yahoo as
ALERTS. which can alert you about the changes in the stock options.
You can add more alerts from the stock otions, like the news update
about a company.

However sometimes you might feel that it isnt satisfing your needs.
Then you can go for custom softwares.The softare can be written in
.net,java,perl which can give you timely updates similar to msn
alerts, apart you get various custom features as you want it, like the
graph, the news and all things in a single application.

Thanks.

Hey,
Technology has enough advanced to capture our desires :-) One of the
advancements Computer Science has made is to capture the live content
without having to mess around with the browsers. RSS(Really Simple
Syndication) Feeds are what different news servers are providing.
These feeds relate to many disciplines: stocks is one of them. These
feeds are in xml, so run a xsl on to your favorite feed servers, you
will get to see the dynamic content in your flavor.

I am not sure if you are still looking for any answer on this. If you
are, let me know, I can help you.

Thanks
