Is that what they're called, the little live windows on a website?

Anyway, Baron have you ever thought about putting Bitcoin, ES, NQ, etc across the top of the main page? Or on the side? I mean even if it's the 15 minute delayed stuff, it might be cool. It doesn't cost any thing to do that right? It'd be real cool if CME would give you a live feed.

I've never really considered it because I figure everyone already has their own real-time software and data feed for that type of info.

Yeah, but after trolling for hot chicks and bringing them back to your pad, you can point to the home page of ET showing on your big-screen with the ticker-bling scrolling across the top and say, "I did that".

Hmmm.... Interesting perspective...

Yeah not so much for the utility of it, it's hard to put a finger on it exactly, but there's something about a live feed, something that's changing, that's appealing in a way. Kind of upscale.

But on the utility side, just using me as an example, I never really look at Bitcoin unless something is going on. But if there was a live quote up top... you know.. you have browser parked on the home screen, the usual idle chit chat going back and forward on a slow evening.... and Bitcoin all the sudden starts jumping around... if anything it would be a conversation starter. Seems like it would make the home page... I dunno... more homey.

Ah. Just a random thought.
