    I cant find the FTSE 100 on v1.0 of your stocks gadget, searching both UK and US for UKX or FTSE. Also exchange rate inclusion would be VERY useful! Unless u plan on making a dedicated app for that! :) Nice work!

    I can’t figure out where to log a support request so I’m trying this. If I add ETFC – E*Trade stock to the market monitor it doesn’t show up. It appears in the data file as US:ETFC along with other stocks I’ve added, but ETFC doesn’t work.

    Help!

    This comment isn’t about the MM sidebar gadget but I am looking for a really good Twitter sidebar gadget for Vista. The ones currently available are not very good, they dont seem to update correctly.
    I want it so I get a tweet about when a live meeting is about to take place but the current gadgets are too slow for it and end up late.

    McP, there was a programming error while trying to retrieve stock quote ‘ETFC.’ We have fixed this error, so you will now be able to view ‘ETFC’ in the gadget.
