Joanne Colan – Rocketboom

Joanne Colan – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joanne Colan replaced quixotic Amanda Congdon as Rocketboom.com host on July 12th, 2006.

I, like hundreds of thousands of others, thought Rocketboom was history. Amanda was Rocketboom.

But I have a renewed interest in the video blog. Joanne is much different, but still compelling. And the video content has improved.

Be sure to check out the new hostess with the mostess on Rocketboom.

Rocketboom meets Boing Boing

The world’s most influential blog is teaming up with the world’s most influential vlog (video blog).

Beet.TV

Very cool.

Boing Boing is tagged a “directory of wonderful things.” It’s a group blog with posts by Mark Frauenfelder, Sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow, David Pescovitz & Xeni Jardin. All four are or have been contributing writers for Wired magazine.

In 2003 Boing Boing removed user comments. Popular blogs must cut off comments when they attract enough idiots. I live for the day.

A great formula to hold an audience for your video podcast is to have an attractive female host.

In the “podisphere” (just heard the term), I like Amber, Amanda and little known Cali Lewis. (Cali’s tag line is “The Hottest Way to Get Your Gadget News”.)

Comments boys?

the most beautiful geek babe of 2006 is …

Karina Stenquist of Mobuzz TV, a daily vlog on web related stuff recorded in Madrid, Spain.

And she’s the best spokeswoman of the very attractive bunch, as well.
