Impressed With Googles Approach To Usability
It amazes me how good a job Google does with usability. Their feed reader is near perfect - I can skim over articles without having to click on anything and they are marked as read. Their web search is great, their news search is great.
I tried Google Finance recently. Unlike almost every other service I used , you can type in the company name or the symbol - you don’t have to resort to a symbol search and three screens later actually get the information you are looking for after picking from a couple of drop down menus about what country you are searching in etc.

Do you mean Yahoo! Finance above, or Google Finance? I like the Google Finance auto-suggest feature in the search box, which sounds like what you’re talking about.
