Amanda Congdon: Unboomed

I was a little concerned with Rocketboom's random field correspondent run last week, but when it failed to return to its regularly scheduled programming on Monday morning, the questions began to fly.

Unfortunately, it looks like Amanda's regular position in front of the map has come to an end. www.rocketboom.com offers one explanation from the show's producer, Andrew Baron, but Amanda offers a much different, and much longer explanation of the split at her blog.

Amanda's transparency clearly makes Andrew look like the bad guy here, despite her relentless compliments of his contributions to RB. This split obviously brings up questions about the figure of video blogging since Rocket Boom was likely the most mainstream of any video blog out there, but I have full faith that Amanda and video blogging will bounce back from this whole incident.
