What does this show? Just prices from btc-e and bitstamp? The lowest available price across a selection of exchanges? The highest? This isn't very useful to me in it's current form.

Haha yeah, people who care about prices probably have some trades in, so they probably want to know the ask/bid selection and watch out for 'walls'. They probably also want a decent chart, maybe some technical analysis tools.

The people that think speculating BTC is purely watching a number on screen are going to lose their money. Hell, people who stare at charts all day manage to lose money as well and we haven't even talked about the blatant market manipulation.

Charts I like to use: bitcoinwisdom.com, tradingview.com

For people that want to get into trading in Forex-like markets: babypips.com

My goto app on the iPhone is btcReport due to the clean interface, but I needed LTC as well so I built this.

Interestingly I deployed it as a Django app on elasticbeanstalk and all the hackernews requests have just triggered autoscaling so thanks for testing it.

Looks nice! Shouldn't it say USD/BTC (USD per BTC) instead of BTC/UTC though?

When naming a price on a trading pair (BTCUSD), the convention is BTC/USD -> 1 BTC to X USD, where X is the price.

Heh this is what bitcoinaverage.com used to look like.
