The most popular video blog on the internet, Rocketboom, is in a bit of chaos today. The host of Rocketboom, Amanda Congdon say she was let go, ie. “UnBoomed”. Rocketboom producer Andrew Baron says that “she quit” on the front of the Rocketboom website. The bloggers will be buzzing all week about this one.

Ok, I’ve got my money on Valleywag to sort this mess out. Keep digging Nick!

UPDATE: Amanda gives her side of the story. The video blogger soap opera continues…
