I first heard of rocketboom when Amanda Congdon went splits vill with her partner Andrew Baron. Looks like they are making as much racket about it as possible. Reading on http://amandaunboomed.blogspot.com/2006/07/for-record.html#c115215511071447319 Zennie Abraham suggests Amanda's popularity basicaly freaked out Andrew causing him to try and keep the all mighty position he had. Personaly I am not a big fan of 51 % / 49 % splits as the person who has the 51 always seams to be someone who wants to be a dictator rather then working things out.
On to the review, the online show is a series of short clips which has gained an impressive audience which is the size of a small cable show. They may not be making it big expect it does look like one of the many online shows that are popping up. ie the Star Trek copy.
Their content is like the much popular "The Daily Show with John Steward" for example http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/archives/2006/06/rb_06_jun_23.html does a pretty good job at explaining the net neturality bill so it makes sense.
Even if this show might fail, it will be interesting to see what both Andrew and Amanda move on to.
The partnership had started from a carglists post, I have used this method before by recruiting people who want to do something fun. It does not always work out or make money but it can be fun.
