Rocketboom Minus Amanda

Andrew Baron, I fear, is overestimating Rocketboom's media value minus Amanda Congdon. I was surprised to hear she's leaving the popular video blog. I understand, and respect, the investment Baron's made in building Rocketboom, but I sense Rocketboom's personality was too closely tied to Amanda.

Who else might dance with the same unique and zesty flair Ms. Congdon exhibits? Who else possesses the same endearing affectations?

I could be wrong. After Hal Sparks left Talk Soup I thought the show was as good as baked. Yet it continues plodding on years after, so what do I know?

Godspeed Amanda. And good luck, Mr. Baron.
