This is a quote from a recent Google video showing how the Google Finance team surveyed their customers to gather their feedback and then implemented the most repeated requests into their tool. The end result is a useful tool that looks slick and easy to use (although I still use Yahoo Finance). Way to go Google.

Five years later after the switch to the euro, most Germans still long for their old currency, according to a recent poll by the market research firm Forsa. The poll, for Stern magazine and RTL television, showed that 58 percent of Germans would prefer the deutsche mark over the euro.

In a recent survey by TNS-Sofres in France, 52 percent of those polled said giving up the franc had been “quite bad” or “very bad” for France, compared with 45 percent in 2003.
From Tolar to Euro
Slovenia just made the switch from the Tolar on Jan 1st 2006. In Slovenia, however, polls indicate that the euro is still generally embraced, in part because it represents a final break with the Communist past. Much of the population is already familiar with the currency from shopping trips to Austria and Italy. But pride in the country’s readiness to join has been offset by fears that the euro will make life more expensive.
