I like the idea of the Yahoo Ticker Tape, but am looking for
something a little more specific in the idea of a news ticker.
Basically, yahoo has all this good reuters news. This is the
page http://biz.yahoo.com/reports/stocks.html. Now if I could get
these headlines in a ticker, that would be good!
Any suggestions?
