Just Launched!! Yahoo!Xtra Business

I know its been a while that I wrote here. Just was so busy and flat out working on something and its with immense pleasure that I introduce you to my new launch Yahoo!Xtra Business . I have been a finance engineer (ok unofficially) here at Yahoo!7 and this is my biggest finance launch. It gave me a great insight to the finance architecture and not only from the engineering-side of things but also from the actual finance market perspective.

So, I thought I would share some of my launch experiences with you here and talk a bit abt my product (oh well I am not the Product manager for this, but since I engineered it I think I would dare call it my product).

Yahoo!Xtra Business

NZ Business site keeps you updated on the shares, funds prices, latest news from a wide-range of providers, discussion boards to discuss everything about finance, Opinions which are the expert blogs from the experts in the industry. I like the sleek design of it which is using no funky colours but instead is giving more emphasis on the content of it. If I had a wish list, I would like to make the entire site wider like how the home page is. But to keep it inline with AU we kept the investing and quotes section narrow.

You can also create your own portfolios and add watches on the quotes. The content is all NZ oriented and the news is very frequently updated with a wide range of providers.

So have a look at it and feel free to throw any comments :) but do remember that this is my personal blog, so I can take in your advice but no promises made!
