In the past, you took the time to write to us about our stock tracking applet that was located at MoneyScope.com. It has been moved to http://www.moneyscope.com/markettracker <http://www.moneyscope.com/markettracker> If you'd like to know more about what's going on behind the scenes, read on: The reason for this move and name change is that ABCNEWS.com decided to change the name of its Business section to "MoneyScope", and to advertise this as "moneyscope.com"... that is why moneyscope.com now redirects to the business section. I know you love the stock tracking applet (now called "Market Tracker") and I have personally read and saved your feedback and suggestions. Thanks to YOUR feedback about how much you like this little applet, we've decided to revamp and improve it... I can't promise any delivery dates but we're hoping to start on it sometime after October 1 and deliver an improved version "2.0" by first-quarter 2001. In addition to the many suggestions that we've received, we're planning on some general design and user-interface cleanups to make it a little friendlier, and the spot where that stale ad is in the top left-corner we think would be a good place for a streaming-video window. This way, you could click on a news item in one portion of the page and watch an associated video clip while you're watching the stock market and reading the news. I'm still collecting suggestions for the newe version, so if you haven't already, please email me and I will definitely read them. Perhaps at when we're closer to development time, I can put up a poll page and everyone can vote on their favorite features for the new version. If you have any friends who use the applet, please fwd them this email to let them know the latest news, I'd appreciate it! We're still not linking to or promoting the applet from the ABCNEWS.com site or offering official technical support for it since the engineers who developed it no longer work here, but we've got a great new team who is getting up to speed on everything, so with version 2.0 release we'll promote the applet and respond to your tech support questions on it. In case you're curious what's going on at ABCNEWS.com up until October 1, we're in the middle of a major site look-and-feel overhaul, so everyone on the "MoneyScope" (aka "Business section") team is busy helping with that, and we're bringing in new personal-finance related content to deliver to ABCNEWS.com readers.
