WSJ.com adds first video podcast

The Wall Street Journal Online announced the launch of a new video podcast called “Andy Jordan’s Tech Diary.”

In a regular video segment that can be viewed free here,Â WSJ.com technology reporter Andy Jordan chronicles the (often odd) stories that can be found when people and technology come together. He will spend time with people and the technology they use, watching what happens to the people — and the technology.

“Tech Diary is an extension of Andy’s other work as a multimedia reporter covering technology,” said Jason Anders, technology editor for The Wall Street Journal Online. “The video podcast format is the perfect complement to the stories Andy tells so well on the quirky intersection of technology and culture.”

WSJ.com now has 10 free podcasts covering such diverse topics as small business, technology, home design, autos, personal finance, and the markets, with six more podcasts available from MarketWatch.com and one weekly podcast from Barron’s Online.
