Apparently, Amanda Congdon is no longer with RocketBoom. Honestly, until today, I didn’t realize how serious a business RocketBoom was. It looks like the business end of this ended up driving the split between Congdon and the show’s producer, Andrew Baron. A boring announcement is on the Rocketboom site, and Amanda presents her side of the story at her blog. It’s unfortunate that this happened, as RocketBoom was one of the funnier video blogs out there.

On a related note, check out the techmeme coverage of this story. This is the type of news that’s right up techmeme’s alley: a story about a blog that is popular among the blogger types. Nearly every major voice on the social networking or user generated content site has said something, and techmeme has clearly identified this as a major story.

This is undoubtedly a testament to the quality of techmeme’s automation as well as a monument to how much bloggers like to talk about other bloggers…
