For This Viewer, Rocketboom is Bigger Than Amanda

by alec on July 13, 2006

Blogs are rife with opinions on the RocketBoom / Congdon breakup again this morning.  Time has an interview titled 10 Questions for Amanda Congdon, while Buzzmachine has an advice column, amongst the many items. 

I don’t know about you, but I am very hopefull this soap opera will be coming to a close soon.  The first sign that there may be an end in sight?  Yesterday was the first episode of the new Rocketboom with Joanne Colan.  I liked her.  Less affected than the sophomoric Amanda, with a crisper more business-like delivery, she actually held my attention for the whole show. I may watch the show again. Rocketboom might finally engage me. 

To me, it looks like Andrew Baron has made good choices for his host, and for his business.

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
