(From BusinessWeek -- By Catherine Holahan)Internet celebrity AMANDA CONGDON just finished broadcasting her cross-country relocation from New York to L.A. on the World Wide Web. Now she is making another move-this one from online to on air.
The former host of ROCKETBOOM, one of the most popular video blogs on the Web, with roughly 211,000 daily viewers, has a new gig as a contributor for DISNEY's ABC network.
The new ABC role may make Congdon the first video blogger to make the jump to a major network.
Congdon is also developing a comedy for TIME WARNER's HBO, which itself has plans to beef up online programming.
Congdon will star in the HBO show, which will appear both online and on air in different forms. The subject matter has yet to be determined.
For the 25-year-old actress, the new jobs sounds like
a dream.
From Rocketboom To ABC
[Oh, we love Amanda Congdon!]
