How about you Scoble?

You have the right hair color.

And you’re both shicksas.

They should get one of the Lamda Lamda Moos to replace Congdon. Beauty is merely skin deep.

What about LaLa from Tiki Bar? She was the first name that popped to mind. Either that or the French Maids. *laugh*

My thought about a male replacement though would be that everyone would tag it as a “Daily Show” ripoff and having a female host always helped avoid that I think.

I second the whole “what’s up with naming and linking only to women” thing. Have you even seen the content at bleedingedgetv.com? Just a bunch of guys doing great things in the tech video podcasting space!

Finally watched the rabbitbites commentary on Rocketboom.

I’m still laughing. “Let’s see. Who can we make fun of next. People in wheelchairs, perhaps?” LOL

The first 65,000 LA waitress in the SGA phone book would work way better than anyone on the web.

And now more bubbles…I mean, public face of Netscape? Jason lost his collective mind?

I don’t know, without Amanda, RB won’t be the same.

They shouldn’t introduce us to the new Amanda on Monday because the fans will rip her to shreds. Instead they should get you (Scoble) to do Monday’s show, as sort of an anti-Amanda. That will shock the system, and then the fans will be ready to accept the new Amanda on Tuesday.

The biggest question is, why isn’t RocketBoom hosting this discussion - and taking suggestions and entries - rather than just sitting there with a lame text announcement and “a week on hiatus”?

Michael: I don’t know. That would be an excellent thing for Andrew to do. Although one thing I’ve learned is that not many people can communicate well in stressful situations (and this one has got to be among the most stressful). I don’t write well at times like this either. So, it might be best to take some time off and not engage with a community and make even bigger mistakes.

Ladies and gentlemen, is there really any contest here? Between myself and Pauline we’ve got the entire spectrum of classy and trashy COVERED! http://www.truegritz.com is the next generation of delicious female vlogs!

[...] Rocketboom’s collapse became news yesterday when Digg reported that Amanda Congdon, Rocketboom’s host has been fired. Then Robert Scoble picked it and posted alternative hosts for rocketboom. [...]

My vote is on Amber Mac. Had the pleasure to meet her a few times. That woman rocks. And I know her and Andrew have met before, for instance at Mesh earlier this year picture

[...] (para saber más de la historia está, hacer click aquí). Pues en esta lista de posible host veo a Amber Mac. [...]

[...] We can expect an even bigger explosion of RSS distributed TV-like shows, with the few who came to mind when Robert Schobel speculated about Amanda replacements being only the tip of an iceberg threatening the Titanic of TV networks, Hollywood & Bollywood Studios. Nothing short of global cultural revolution is brewing. The sad soap opera breaking up new media’s first couple could be the story which pushes awareness of internet video to a critical mass of the global mainstream audience. [...]

Of course there were only women listed. Let’s face it, very few people were watching Rocketboom for the intelligent content and witty presentation. Without a cute face and a nice pair of tits, that thing is going dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooown.
