Track the price of crude oil on your iGoogle page

July 27th, 2007

After reading way too much about the price and supply of oil, I’ve kept a watchful eye on the price of crude. It peaked around $78 a barrel last year, and after sliding down to the mid sixties, it looks like it is poised to set a new record, standing at $77 today.

I got sick of going to the Bloomberg energy page every time I wanted to see today’s price, and really wanted a graph of past activity.

I found oil-price.net and their nice javascript widget, and they agreed to let me make a google gadget from it. I whipped one up and added it to my page. You can add it to your google start page by clicking here
