Google Finance was updated late Monday night, as predicted Sunday, with a few new features like sector performance and top mover views.  The majority of changes made to the service can be found on the front page.

Even though the new features are all great additions, I don't think adding a few "neat" ones will good enough to topple the mighty Yahoo Finance -- it will probably take Google many years to catch up considering the small team working on the project.

"Google Finance has fewer than 10 engineers working on the product, with four of those devoting a scant 20% of their time to the effort under Google's famed system of allowing engineers to devote one-fifth of their time on test projects that are not their main staple, says Katie Stanton, product manager of Google Finance." -- TheStreet.com

Are you an investor?  What service do you prefer, and why?  It would be interesting to hear what real investors feel is missing from Google Finance.
