Why is something like Google/Yahoo Finance not good enough? Apart from 10-K and 10-Q's?

Have you ever used Bloomberg or Reuters? Google/Yahoo Finance are far from useful for anything but an overview of a company. The service I am talking about would be aimed at more professional users.

Yes, I have used Bloomberg quite a lot, although I spent most of my time with its painful API. I just wanted to get your perspective on what Bloom feature you'd like to see in a web site/search engine.

Well, to start, if I could get correlation data from Yahoo/Google Finance that would be a great. In addition to that, if I could get my hands easily on data concerning pending lawsuits, better industry data, and better regression tools (though this may tie in with the correlation data requested above), that would also be wonderful. Those are just a few key things that would be nice for equity. Also, the data concerning anything outside of equities is severely lacking in Yahoo/Google Finance.
