Introducing Tech Ticker
Posted Feb 07, 2008 01:25am EST by Diane GalliganHey Everybody!
Welcome to Tech Ticker, a daily video-centric blog focused on the incredible world of technology investing. It's a sector that's both kick-ass and kick-your-ass - a place for big dreams, big bets and big disappointments, too. Double, halve or get out of the way.
We're reporting from the center of the action, in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street. Our aim: to bring the stocks and the stories to life - and to reveal the culture of an ecosystem often understood only by those who inhabit it.
Expect Tech Ticker to be both quirky and opinionated. We won't cover everything, and we will evolve.
Our team couldn't be stronger:
Brainy, irreverent and fun, Lacy is a 10-year Valley veteran. She's the author of Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good: The Rebirth of Silicon Valley and the Rise of Web 2.0, which is being published by Gotham Books in May 2008. A former reporter for BusinessWeek, she continues to write a biweekly column for BusinessWeek.com called "Valley Girl."
This star markets commentator covered Wall Street for a decade at TheStreet.com, including a stint as San Francisco Bureau Chief. He is a frequent guest on Fox Business News, MSNBC, ABC and other outlets. His daily markets podcast "The Real Story" was an award winner on iTunes, and you'll love him here, too.
You know the history. Now meet Henry Blodget 2.0, author of the award-winning blog, Internet Outsider and now CEO of Silicon Alley Insider. Outspoken, battle-tested and funny, Henry is a true gentleman. During the dot-com boom, Henry was the #1 ranked Internet analyst on Wall Street. Later he was cited in the wide-ranging complaint about industry conflicts of interest (see http://www.sec.gov/). Henry graduated from Yale.
Brilliant, hilarious and contrarian as they come. A former Morgan Stanley analyst, Andy later turned $100 million into $1 billion as co-founder of a technology hedge fund. He began his career designing chips at Bell Labs. Andy is the author of the bestselling Running Money, as well as Wall Street Meat and most recently, The End of Medicine. 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.
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.
And that brings us to the most important member of the team: YOU! We're counting on you to tell us what's working and what's not, and what you want to see. We can't wait to hang out every day with you.Welcome to the show!
Cheers,
Diane Galligan and the rest of the Tech Ticker editorial team

Nice! Let's see what value it adds to yahoo finance.

Not too sure about how this site can help. There are no content on the site. Does this just mean we will have tech stock specific articles and videos under one tab?

This is too cool. I love where Yahoo! is going with the financial stuff including the beta graphs. Very,very nice! Obviously, your setting yourselves apart from the rest.

Brand new page, brand new bug. An attempt to post a comment has just failed. Perhaps this short comment will get through?

It looks like cool idea to have u guys here under yahoo's roof.

Why do you feel the need to be so popular with tech stocks. Do you think the public won't get excited unless you use some fake enthusiasm with words such as "kick-ass?" I will find my news from a source that has a rich vocabulary and yet can still be light-hearted when need be. brandon hatton

Since my yahoo added a tech ticker my entire finance and email system is running very slow. How can I delete this service? Mike
