Google Finance is no more in Beta

In my previous post, i have mentioned about beta label on Google products. May be google has gone through that post :) and start removing Beta label from its products after many years.

Just open Google Finance in another browser and check the logo of google finance. You must notice that “Beta” word has been removed. Initially i feel google is just doing this with Gmail and Google Docs because he wants to sell these products to enterprise customers. But Google Finance beat them to it.

Google has launched Google Finance around 3 years back and in these three years of Beta years, it has become a complete product.

According to ComScore data, Google's (Finance) biggest competitor Yahoo (Finance) has attracted 21.7 million much higher that Google Finance 1.4 million unique U.S. visitors in April. Last year, Yahoo Finance has added 2.2 million monthly unique users in the U.S more than total google total visitors. The worldwide numbers show a similar disparity, with Yahoo Finance at 43.5 million uniques vs. 2.4 million for Google Finance.
