I started watching Rocketboom after I heard Steve Jobs mention it as a video podcast/blog during one of his Keynote addresses in the past year. It is a great little daily diversion that is an internet/grass roots version of The Daily Show. At least that is the easy way to describe it.
Anyways, the personality that has been a huge part of the success for the video podcast/blog has been the “anchor” Amanda Congdon. Her quirky sense of humor and grasp of the internet and its community is what I believe helped Rocketboom become as popular and large as it has become.
But via the Link above, she has been “fired”!!! There are all kinds of opinions about whether or not this will be a good thing or not for Rocketboom and Congdon. I think it will be bad for Rocketboom to lose it’s personality, and good for Congdon - potentially.
If she can land a job somewhere in the entertainment biz, then I think she will continue in her popularity. My votes are in her corner.
