Google joins Yahoo in offering Bitcoin prices

(CoinDesk) Google Finance has launched a bitcoin price tracker, offering market
information across several major fiat currencies as well as access to
breaking news in the digital currency world.
Users can access prices in BTC/USD markets, as well as prices in pound sterling, yen, euro, renminbi, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar markets.
The tool also enables review of historical prices dating back to June 2013.

The
Google Finance bitcoin tool enables quick BTC-to-fiat conversions as
well, allowing for calculations across dozens of currencies such as the
Yemeni rial and the Bangladeshi taka.
The move comes hot on the heels of the Yahoo! Finance bitcoin price listing. In addition, Bloomberg opted to add bitcoin prices to its terminals in late April.
CoinDesk reached out to Google for comment on the decision, but did not receive an immediate response.

Simple design

The layout in Google Finance is simple, allowing for easy navigation without many bells and whistles.

Users can list multiple fiat currencies against the price of bitcoin, and the tool’s news tracker pegs the timing of news releases with the fluctuations in the market.
The tool bears many similarities to Yahoo! Finance’s tool,
though it utilizes different layout schemes for graphs and news
tickers. However, Yahoo! Finance does not offer bitcoin price
conversions to other currencies.
