Amanda Congdon, star of Rocketboom, announced today that she's leaving the program apparently over some disagreement with her partner, Andrew Baron.
As you can see from the chart below. Rocketboom's rise has been nothing short of remarkable. The vlog has more than 250,000+ daily viewers, a promising advertising future and a presence on TiVo. The site attracts nearly as many eyeballs as CBS.com and NBC.com, at least according to a Alexaholic. Much of this success can be attributed to the partnership between Congdon and Baron. They're like Lennon and McCartney.
I wouldn't bet against a TV network or studio signing Amanda to a contract. Now is their opportunity. After all, both Lennon and McCartney went on to be very successful in their own right after the Beatles broke up. (via Dave Winer)
