[ilugd] Looking for How-to to do Live Stock figures on Intranet

2007-10-24 Thread Anand Shankar
Thats a head-ache for sys-admins trying to control / manage / curb
looking up stock prices / cricket scores on every desk inside a large
corporate LAN.

Trying to find out how to develop and host an app which collects live
stock prices, so that Internal LAN users are able to get the info that
they want, without each of them pulling the same data from 10 other
different Internet based sources, loading proxy servers and choking
bandwidths. I am sure such custom apps are readily avlbl.

I am primarily looking this from stock prices perspective, but would
appreciate if some info is also avlbl for cricket scores.
