We were really surprised (and sad) to hear that Amanda has left Rocketboom due to a disagreement with her partner. Her witty style has drawn in many loyal viewers and it’ll be interesting to see how things will play out. We’re sure Andrew will take Rocketboom in an interesting and entertaining new direction and we look forward to continuing to work together.
As for Amanda, there are already offers from around the blogosphere, notably from Jason Calacanis over at Netscape.
“So, my offer to you is do your daily report for Netscape and we’ll pay you whatever you need to get paid AND you can own all of the rights to your video forever”
With all the recent hype, traditional media companies might be interested in signing her, but we secretly wish she will stay in the world of indie video blogging.
Here’s her “exit video”. She promises she’ll be back and will post some new stuff on her unboomed site.
