- AOL's Jason Calacanis offered Amanda a job vlogging for Netscape. She should take it while Netscape still has major readership. [Valleywag]
- Amanda heightens the tension with her latest blog post, in which she argues with a letter from Andrew, point by point. [Amanda UnBoomed]
- Blogger Dave Winer — one of Amanda's apparent heroes — says she wasn't transparent in her video, so we don't know how this precipitated. Winer wisely recommends watching some Ze Frank shows instead. [Scripting News]
- Blogger Stowe Boyd lambasts Baron for letting this happen, since "without Amanda there is no Rocketboom, obviously." [Stowe Boyd]
