Sparklines are pretty cool
I am thinking about making a wordpress plugin for a stock sparkline. So, for example, if you were writing about DTV 2621,2574,2554,2536,2574,2545,2579,2657,2607,2625,2555,2525,2522,2554,2464,2574,2583,2555,2580,2701,2740 in a post like this, it would look like this (nothing yet for IE users, but I’m working on it). And you wouldn’t have to do anything except install the plugin. At first I wasn’t sure if I thought sparklines would be that useful for stocks, but after playing with them I am convinced. It is a simple and easy way to get an idea of a stock’s chart, without going into great detail and complicating things. And it doesn’t take up much space. It’s simple, but it helps.
