Yahoo Launches Tech Ticker
Posted on February 11, 2008
Yahoo - the auctions, classifieds, content, entertainment, personals, photo sharing, shopping, social media and search company - has launched Tech Ticker. It is a blog and a video show that focuses on tech-related financial news. Expect lots of Nasdaq coverage. Tech Ticker's team includes Sarah Lacy, Aaron Task, Henry Blodget and Andy Kessler.
The blog will also feature content from other tech blogs as this excerpt from the introductory post explains.
In addition, we'll have contributions, both in text blogs and video, from friends and Yahoo! Finance content partners including industry watcher Paul Kedrosky, the teams at AllThingsD, paidcontent.org, Fox Business News and CNBC. We're excited to work with our fellow bloggers, business journalists and Wall Street pros.The video show will provide four to eight videos daily according to NewTeeVee.We're a small startup within Yahoo! Finance, the gold standard among financial Web sites. We are Yahoo! Finance boosters (we rock!), but that won't translate into favoritism when it comes to covering Yahoo! as a company or an investment. From Jerry Yang on down, executives here have given us not only the freedom, but the mandate, to call it as we see it.
