Bing Makes It Easier To Track Stocks In Excel

Search engine provider Bing has just added a feature which makes it easier for you to track your stocks and mutual funds in Excel, through a new link with the popular spreadsheet. According to Bing, it has launched a new "My Portfolio" template which allows users to track specific stocks and funds--including links to quotes, charts, news, and more--powered by Bing. Bing said the move is part of a move to let users pull data from the web, outside of a web browser. The link makes sense (both Bing and Excel are products out of Microsoft), however the move is illustrative of how the lines between the desktop and the web have blurred in recent years.
