Paid Content notes the launch of Yahoo! Tech . This is the new tech vertical Yahoo had been working for some time now…it is more consumer focused and takes on the consumer sites owned by CNET and others.
The aggregated content for Yahoo Tech will come from established media brands such as John Wiley’s “For Dummies” book series, IDG’s PC World, Ziff Davis’ PC Magazine and McGraw-Hill publishing. The user-generated content will come primarily from Yahoo’s shopping site, which has about 300 tech products each accompanied by dozens of user reviews, and Yahoo Answers, which will fuel a Question-and-Answer section in Yahoo Tech. Charter advertisers, include Verizon, Hewlett-Packard and Panasonic.
A tour of the site is available. Comments on the launch - which generally focus heavily on its low-end consumer orientation are available at ReadWriteWeb , Tech Memeorandum and TechCrunch
