  Will the "refresh" button become obsolete?
Time: 04:04 EST/09:04 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Will2

Information junkies, your day has come. A new company backed by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen and MIT Labs Director Nicolas Negroponte is bringing real-time information updates to the Web browser. No longer will stock traders and eBay aficionados have to refresh their browser windows: Bang Networks' service will update the stock price or auction bids they're looking at as the changes happen.

Bang is trying to create a version of the Net that's more like a stock trader's always-moving ticker, or the interactive face of a PC software program, than today's static Web pages. Analysts are warm to the idea, though they say the most interesting applications for the idea probably will be found beyond real-time updates of financial information or sports scores.
