I have just learned of this myself from watching Amanda's video. I guess it is in fact over.
I'm not sure what I will do - I have no one else to take Amanda's place and haven't really ever imagined Rocketboom without her except for the past week as everything has been up in the air.
I also have no doubt too that Amanda will go on to do great things, that this is still only the beginning.

That little voice in my head that claims to be my better judgement is telling me not to get into my many thoughts and feelings on this at the moment ... besides I'm running late for work .... but I'll vlog something about it tonight maybe.
Amanda, my most sincere best wishes on the flood of new projects that are going to be heading your way.
For those of you who believed that Rocketboom was on vacation this week, Amanda has made a post this morning on Amanda Unboomed explaining the real story:

I suggest that you have Batman Geek take over as anchor. I think he would do an outstanding job. http://batmangeek7.blogspot.com My suggestion is to pick...
Okay, now I'm really confused about what happened, but I suspect there will be details you can't talk about. I'm sorry for whatever it was, as you two seemed...
This is a very strange response Andrew; Amanda makes a video claiming that Andrew has made the call to end the partnership and is able to do so because it's a...
Thanks for bring us back on track Josh... What does all this say about the often hyped business model of Rocketboom? A daily vlog takes a ton of work to...
Business partnerships are notorious for ending in such a way, so I don't think its fair to blame it on their business model. Any unproven venture is a risk to...
It is very fair to question RB's business model - they are the poster child for sustainable (profitable) vlogging. Many people don't realize the amount of work...
thoughts: - vlogging is probably more logical as a 'part' of a business model and not THE business model. - it always comes down to numbers. if you have good...
Good points Michael... Here is a post from my buddy Mike Davidson (CEO of Newsvine)... http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2006/07/rocketbust ...
Good blog by Mike, I add... ....and less than the 250,000 daily viewers the show drew with Amanda. What Andrew and others are about to get is a hard and tough...
Good article - great points.... My experience has been down thorugh my 438 years (36 on this planet) that these things boil down to SEX, MONEY or POWER. Some...
Amanda is dating Mario Librandi (http://marioscope.blogspot.com/), I can't imagine her taking _anyone_ as a secret lover with a handsome man like that, so you...
Alas, mario indeed is a handsome man and ostensibly well read, but perhaps the answer is right under our noses - Chuck Olsen is also a handsome man who has...
It isn't the business model that's the problem. I mean, selling advertising to people who are watching something has been around a long long time. So that's...
I just can't see how one can claim Vlogging isn't profitable, or can't be. Rocketboom provided the answers. But it's an error in logic to think that just...
Before I get flamed for my opinions, let me clarify... I have yet to see a vlog be a sustainable business in itself. Of course vlogging offers a great return...
Hi, First, I am sorry as I didn't mean to flame, just offer criticism. And I should explain that I do view vlogging as an extention of my company's marketing...
I don't see any reason whatsoever why vlogging can't be a business. I also don't see any reason whatsoever why it has to be. It's a medium. It's a medium...
Hi Mike! I totally agree. I was writing in the context of our company, where we view each effort as a separate "business unit" -- thus I too see vlogging as...
