People looking forward to the upcoming launch of TechTicker, Yahoo's finance video site, will have to be a bit more patient. We hear that Yahoo has pushed back the site's launch date, which was anticipated to be this upcoming Monday. Official word from Yahoo is that there is no specific launch date, but to expect the site to be up and running within the next few weeks.
Hosts include prominent Silicon Valley journalists like BusinessWeek columnist Sarah Lacy and Silicon Alley Insider's Henry Blodget, pictured in a screenshot acquired by EPICENTER. Pundit Paul Kedrosky is also confirmed as a contributor.
Yahoo has delved into financial video before. Back in 2000, they launched Yahoo FinanceVision, which streamed live coverage of the stock market during the market's open hours. With TechTicker, the focus has been narrowed to technology stocks, but with stories that dig deeper into that one niche. Instead of streaming live, the site will collect produced video posts for users to watch when they choose.
