Temporarily closed due to legal issues
When programming mkemne:) I initially had a YouTube-Mentality which translates into "Just do it".The YouTube founders had launched the now popular video portal to the public and let users upload ripped music, videos and a lot of other "illegal" stuff. Nobody cared until Google bought it.
Somehow I felt the same with mkemne - create a portal which allows users to simply grasp the stock market - but through all the cease & desist letters going around I was kind of getting worried. Nobody actually wrote me one but I rather shut it down until I find a new stock price provider than getting into trouble.
What are your thoughts on this? Should I say f*** that? Am I too scared?
If you have got any ideas, questions or thoughts on this, feel free to post a comment in the blog.
Your stock market addict, Nader
UPDATE: I am currently looking for another stock price provider. Stay tuned!
Should you still be interested in how cool mkemne:) actually is, check out the blog or the screenshots and information below.

Google Finance being a welcome exception. With mkemne:) I wanted to create a portal that enables everybody to access market data in a fast and easy way.Features:
- Reduction to the max. No 1000 links, banners, colors, etc.
- Keep a watchlist of your stocks. Add and remove them with a simple click
- Quickly catch the Winners/Losers of the day. A click saves your preferred indexes for the next time you visit the front page.
- Very Lazy-Registration. Actually there is no registration :)
- Read News about the stocks you keep in your watchlist, subscribe to your personalised RSS-Feed

- LAMP, cURL, cron
