It looks like the Yahoo! Finance team is getting on board the AJAX train. I recently noticed that the standard plain-vanilla quotes page has added some dynamic spice. The effect is pretty subtle, so check the screenshot:
Notice the parts highlighted in pink. These change periodically while the page is up (during market hours), presumably as trades occur. Lightweight, unobtrusive, useful. Obviously the aims are different from the new dynamic charts, but this one has the advantage of not killing the CPU of the browser, or failing to work 100% in Flash 7 a la Google Finance and the fancy new Yahoo! Charts. Kudos to Yahoo! for keeping the user in mind.
