  • SQLDigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Do you think she will accept the offer?
    "we'll pay you whatever you need to get paid AND you can own all of the rights to your video forever "
    Sounds like a very good deal to me
  • jdawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ABR.... always be recruiting. :-)
  • samd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No she won't. Being so independent to being so big business... I think it would be too much of a change.
  • dankoleary, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3She's hot, but this is so far out and random it hurts my brain. Her big eyes are scaring me. Also, what's Rocketboom?
  • kidhero, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3i thought rocketboom was pretty lame
  • RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think Jason Calacanis is going to make a clone army of Amanda Congdons.
  • CoyoteByte, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I hope she does. It would give Netscape a nice boost.
  • jwk3114, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Rocketboom is overrated and Calacanis is a pompous ass.
  • dygitaljoe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Amanda -- Take the shot, not for Jason, but yourself. You articulate very well, and Netscape has potential to go over the top on things, and you could very well do it. Jason is very open to dynamic and change.

    Jason - you're leet.
  • drewolanoff, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2I hope Amanda holds out for the best deal possible. Rock on!
  • joesoko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What ever she may choose, i enjoyed rocketboom because of her personality.
    And will continue to watch her wherever she may be. But it would be funny if she went over to weblogs after the conversation in twit 57 where calacanis was trying to give rocketbooms andrew some perspective.
    To andrew i hope the view from the top was nice while you had it! This week will definitely change that perspective. Amanda was the show and now you have nothing but a bunch of people hitting the unsubscribe button.
    To Amanda good luck, hope to see your new show soon where ever it may be.
    • wspence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Couldn't agree more. Personally I think this is partly personal between Jason and Andrew. Andrew is condesending as hell. Jason seems to have some business vision, but copying digg definately didn't help netscape in my book. Atleast with people like myself who know of digg. Kevin I'm hoping you're talking to a lawyer about all this.
  • FieroRocky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Calacanis should change his name to Xerox. Since all he could do is copy and spend money. Maybe he should try innovation.
  • mike4410, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Rocketboom was my favorite daily podcast. Each day was an unexpected adventure. Amanda Congdon's beauty and wit made it a hit for this old man.
  • Duke218, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So, he copies Digg. Now he wants to copy Diggnation with Amanda Congdon. Amanda is a great talent. Calacanis needs to develop some ideas of his own. Like Kevin said, he has "AOL's war chest" and is using it to bring Digg down. Why cant big companies understand that this is why there losing money. AOL needs to worry about the 5000 people there laying off and leave Digg alone.
