Rocketboom, the world's most popular video blog, enters its third post-Amanda-Congdon day with no new episode, despite producer Andy Baron promising one at 9 AM Eastern Time. Well, look at the clock. I'll keep asking until I get an answer: Andy, since you do all the work on the show, switching anchors should be no big deal, right?

Say hi to Joanne (not Joanna) Colan, the new host of Rocketboom. The vlogger just opened her blog at JoanneColan.net.

Magical Wednesday Update: Rocketboom still a dud, bloggers running out of headline puns. (But this post is still worth reading.)

Rocketboom, the hottest video blog since Dick Clark's "New Year's Eve on the Internets," cannot survive without ex-host Amanda Congdon. I didn't believe it until I saw the above error message at Rocketboom.com.

Escalating his battle with exiting host Amanda Congdon, Rocketboom producer Andy Baron blogged that he does nearly all the work on the popular video blog. "I have Produced every single episode," he says. "I have found/picked over 90% of all of the stories that we have ever used." He even takes credit for Amanda's frantic chair spins and head bobs that freaked out so many viewers.

After Rocketboom host Amanda Congdon took her spat with producer Andrew Baron public on her blog, Andrew never posted a reply on his blog. Instead, he talked about it at a conference.

Update: Damn, I was dead wrong, says Amanda. 88SLIDE wants her, but she hadn't responded to any offers as of Tuesday.

Hours of research went to finding the quintessential Rocketboom, the episode that captured all of the video blog's essence and held the secret to its popularity. These hours failed. Instead, a local (gay) journalist found the episode where "Amanda Congdon shuts up and looks pretty."

It only took Rocketboom producer Andrew Baron a week to replace host Amanda Congdon. And, as Amanda accused, he's so old media — new anchor Joanna Colan is an ex-MTV Europe VJ. Huffington Post's media blog, Eat the Press, reports the story but admits that Andy won't confirm the hire. He does confirm that Rocketboom goes back on the air Monday.

The New York Times gets new quotes from Amanda Congdon after the Rocketboom vlog anchor split with founding producer Andrew Baron over escalating arguments about the show's direction. Now that Rocketboom is rich and famous, Andrew wanted his power back and tried to muscle Amanda out of her 49% share of the show — which is, like, so last decade.

I am as tired of Rocketboom split-up news as you are.

If you were creeped out by Rocketboom for the last couple years (now called "the well-endowed age"), you might enjoy this video from OfficePirates.com half as much as I did.

Well, the Rocketboomers done brought out all the dirty laundry. Video blog producer Andrew Baron and ex-host Amanda Congdon brought their contract fight into the public, and now tipsters are sending in all the dirt on the two microcelebrities.

Two major news outlets run full stories on the Congdon-Baron split at Rocketboom today, demonstrating that this story is more than blogger gossip.

Former Rocketboom anchor Amanda Congdon raised the tension in her professional split with producer Andrew Baron last night with a lengthy blog post titled "For the record." After making her case in the intro, the popular vlogger publishes an entire letter from Andrew to her, with the responses she'd sent to him.

The business divorce between Rocketboom producer Andrew Baron and anchor Amanda Congdon gets bitchier by the hour. (If you just tuned in, see Amanda's original announcement and Andrew's rebuttal.)

In its latest episode, the video blog GeekBrief.TV leapt into the escalating battle between Andrew Baron (producer of popular vlog Rocketboom) and Amanda Congdon (the show's former anchor). In the video (shown below), GeekBrief host Cali Lewis reads an e-mail from Baron and publishes Congdon's initial video announcement. Cali manages to explain the situation without picking a side.

Video-blogging celebrity Amanda Congdon's exit from the daily Rocketboom show is getting all the blogosphere's love today. The general feel is that Rocketboom's screwed and Amanda's a golden girl.

Rocketboom producer Andrew Baron says he didn't fire the video blog's anchor, Amanda Congdon. She quit, he writes in a forum post, after a week where "everything has been up in the air." He only found out by watching her video announcement.

Did Amanda Congdon, the poster girl of vlogging, really get fired from Rocketboom? She posted her farewell vid, and Rocketboom.com now reverts to the archives. The bloggers can't decide.
