Yahoo! Finance is getting a makeover on Monday with completely new interactive stock charts, improved message boards and business-related video clips from content partners.

Also, the revamped website will feature a full-screen application that will allow users to add events such as a company’s stock splits or dividends with one click, see competitor charts and click and drag to customize a chart's time range, as well as type in specific dates.

The fresh inputs into the site will also allow Internet publishers to easily add a stock chart, quotes and news headlines to their Web site. Changes on the Yahoo Finance message board will also include more information on postings, the ability to rate messages, and to sort and filter messages based on ratings.

So, is this Yahoo’s answering salvo to Google’s Google Finance? I definitely think so. Also, will Yahoo’s move elicit a makeover reaction from other major financial websites such as, say, CNN Money and Marketwatch?
