Ajax Girl

Mkemne:) is a German “finance 2.0″ website aiming for a simple, easy, interface for users to assess the state of the market. It presents company info and you get to add your favorite companies to a persistent watchlist. It was developed by Nader Cserny of Brand Infection, who was also responsible for the UI design of several Ajax sites we have previously featured here - Blummy, BandNews, WizLite, all sites developed by Alexander Kirk. (I’ve recently worked with Nader.)

Like a lot of Ajax/Web2.0 sites these days, it uses Lazy Registration - or what Mike Arrington recently termed “Auto-Login via a browser cookie” - to build the watchlist without requiring a formal signup process. Interestingly, Nader calls it “extremely lazy registration” because there is no sign up at all, ever. And for basic personalization like a watchlist, there’s a good argument that cookies are all you need.

mkemne:) is a user-friendly stockmarket portal, currently available for the German market.

I am interested in the stockmarket since the age of 14 and until today I am horified by the existing services. Google Finance being a welcome exception. With mkemne:) I wanted to create a portal that enables everybody to access market data in a fast and easy way.
