Dump those expensive Bloomberg terminals in the trash, because there’s a brand new financial news product in town. And it’s free. SkyGrid will aggregate all the news about publicly traded companies in a single user interface, and give users a feel for the importance of each news story as well as the overall sentiment of the author.
In January we wrote about SkyGrid, the $6,000 per seat/year financial news product that gives users real time updates via a flash interface on the stocks and sectors they are interested in. Today the service completes its transition to a free service that anyone can use and launches into private beta. You can sign up for it here. Existing users are also given invitations to the service as well, so once you are in you can get your friends on the service, too.
