Amanda Congdon off Rocketboom

Unboomed

The latest popular blogger to step out on their own is Amanda Congdon of popular video blog Rocketboom. According to a video post on her personal blog Amanda was kicked out by majority shareholder Andrew Baron.

My guess as to what happened? Rocketboom was looking to expand into a video blog network and restructuring the company and ownership in preparation for the new move. Amanda has one of the most popular faces in video blogging so expect her to have a new job or startup soon.

Andrew Baron is director and producer of Rocketboom.

A statement on Rocketboom says Amanda “has decided to move to L.A. to pursue opportunities that have arisen for her in Hollywood.”
