Looks like Amanda Congdon has decided to leave RocketBoom and move to LA. Apparently, Amanda had a promise that she could move to the west coast and work there….I guess they found the "fuel" too expensive to fly the rocket to California.


And so, we get a ROCKETBOOM ANNOUNCEMENT:


Amanda Congdon has decided to move to L.A. to pursue opportunities that have arisen for her in Hollywood.

We wanted to meet her demands to move production out to L.A., however, we are a small company and have not been able to figure out a way to make it work, financially and in many other ways at this time. While we continue to remain with open arms, Amanda has in fact quit and left Rocketboom. So sadly, we bid Amanda adieu and wish her all the best.

Rocketboom goes on.

Andrew Baron, the founder and creator of Rocketboom, will stay with the company in New York and will continue to produce and direct the show. We are in the daunting process of recruiting a replacement for Amanda.

While Amanda will be sorely missed, we have big plans for Rocketboom and are determined to make the show better than ever.

After Field Week and a week on hiatus, we know that you are hungry for the news! Rocketboom will be back with a news episode and an interim host this MONDAY, JULY 10.

It was a nice way to say it….but we didn’t get the full story. I’m sure more will be coming later.

If you have never gone to RocketBoom, give it a shot….look at the archives and see why Amanda was sooo popular!!

    I tend to agree. Change often brings about new and exciting enhancements that give a burst of life to sites....I hope that happens here Steve.

    I am sure that there will be a 100 more copycats. The show was ok when it first came out but got old fast

    Actually it is not gossip...she is leaving the Rocketboom show.

    Mobile related...I think it is for those that like the show and download it to their devices.

    It was at a mobile conference that I first saw the show...someone was watching it on their device. I got a kick out of it and have been watching the show for some time.

    What I like is their interface. Clearly setup for optimization on a PC, their mobile skin works extremely well. The download choices are varied...with a mobile phone choice that makes the downloads small...I like that.

    Why is this on here? This isn't mobile related, just gossip.
