Who will take Rocketboom over?

by on July 5, 2006

Well, why not start speculation about who’ll take Rocketboom over?

Will it be Bethany of RealVerse?
Or Laura and Tina of On10?
Irina of GeekEntertainment TV?
Cali of GeekBrief.tv?
Amber of TWiT.tv?
Jason and Nate of the Bleeding Edge?
Sas and Pauline of TrueGritz?

  • Nathan
    You speak of sexism yet only list females as replacements?!?!?

    Amber is my vote!! LOL
  • Karim
    I already made my guess (comment 12).

    At least he's still in New York.
  • Karim
    D'oh! Comment # 9, not 12.
  • Nathan, touche!

    So, any men to replace Amanda?
  • Because the audience demands it, I am ready. ;-)
  • 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.
  • how about an unknown? wasn't amanda a vidcast unknown before RB? i'm close by and for hire (cheap...very cheap...) and not exactly unknown, just more people don't know me than do. ;)
  • My Vote is amber, although he's in Toronto and I'd hate to see her leave!
  • How about us? Chou Chou is a fine one.
    www.rabbitbites.com
  • I second the vote for Chou Chou. If you haven't seen their show yet, you have to. It's so funny!
  • Rick Henshaw
    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!
  • Rick Henshaw
    Whoops - meant to link The Bleeding Edge
  • Rick, thanks for that, I didn't even know about them. That's a cool show!
  • I love Rabbitbites. Hopefully something I do will be on their show soon. :-)
  • Karim
    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
  • Christopher Coulter
    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?
  • Patrick. Definitely Patrick.
  • How about Mrs. Scoble? She could moonlight after she gets done with podtech.
  • I don't know, without Amanda, RB won't be the same.
  • Nab
    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.
  • BrookersFan
    Brookers would be perfect!
  • 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!
  • 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
  • I don't know anymore, maybe someone different.
  • Chris
    This one's easy. Dawn and Drew.
  • Now, there is a contest. I would vote for Rachel of 88Slide.
    http://www.88slide.com/
  • Tetsuo
    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.
