Amanda Congdon: Unboomed
July 5, 2006 | 1 Comment
In stunningly upsetting news, Amanda Congdon of Rocketboom fame has been ousted from her lead role in Rocketboom. Click the image above to watch her video revealing her departure.
In the video Amanda sits sadly in front of an upside down map and explains how she owns 49% of Rocketboom while her business partner owns 51%. He wanted her gone and so she departs. For me Rocketboom was always “The Amanda Congdon Show”. I tuned in for her spunk and personable nature. I look forward to a new video podcast from her soon. I wish her all the best.

Rocketboom, A Video Blog Worth Watching
December 15, 2005 | 9 Comments
A while ago Ken got excited about the prospect of vodcasting or vlogging or video blogging. He even tried one of his own (more in parody than earnest).
Yesterday he introduced me to Rocketboom which is an example of this technology. Finally I have a reason to be interested in video blogging. Amanda Congdon deliveres this technology heavy ultra modern vlog daily. Her delivery and expressiveness is quite engaging. She provides what I’d consider a video version of the types of things you may find daily on Digg or Slashdot.
Although, I’m pretty sure not everyone could pull this off. Certainly the fact that Amanda is easy to look at adds to the appeal…
