Oh no! Real-time (ECN) stock quotes appear to be gone from both the condensed and the detailed Google Finance views. Hopefully, it's just a fluke and it will be back tomorrow. Take a look:

This actually annoys me, as I use Google to get quick real-time visibility on stock quotes without having to log in to my TDAmeritrade account.
Yahoo still appears to give out free real-time quotes, but it's not accessible via standard query. Here's how to get ECN quotes from Yahoo:

Not sure why this happened, but it was one of the "sticky" features Google had for me. Now I think I'll use Ask because they have those cool commercials. Nah, I'll still use Google 
I'll be posting some cool technical stuff, as well as announcing which sites I am reviewing for the Free Site-Clinic later today.

Starting September 1, 2006, we can no longer offer real-time ECN data from INET due to pricing changes by the exchanges. Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs) are electronic marketplaces that bring buy and sell orders together and match them with each other. ECN data from INET does not necessarily represent the best bid or ask in the marketplace.
