StockQuote Google Gadget

I use Google Personalized Homepage a lot.  I wanted a gadget for getting stock quotes ("gadget" is Google's lingo for a module or widget), but I couldn't find one I particularly liked.  So I created my own:



Behind the gadget is a remote .NET/C# service I created which scrapes stock quotes and charts from Google Finance.

You can see it and play with the demo: cgoldberg.googlepages.com

- Add my gadget to your Google Personalized Homepage
- Add my gadget to your own web page

Caveat:  The service runs off my own server so I can't guarantee I'll host this thing forever.

I like this, but is there a way to hard-code a specific stock instead of getting the lookup everytime?
