[…] It’s not quite an Amanda-moves-to-ABC story, but it’s still kind of cool when a seat-of-the-pants vlogger gets a bigger stage. Such is the case for Peter Zottolo, an employee of video-messaging provider SightSpeed (aka SightSpeed guy), whose sometimes zany online antics (see video below!) have earned him a hosting gig for an upcoming user-generated content show on DirecTV.

Before showing up at ABC, Congdon wowed the Web as a dynamic citizen journalist, and it’s largely for that role that Congdon received the #8 spot in the Forbes Web 25 list. […]

[…] Black joins a group of online video stars that are succeeding on mostly their own terms. Amanda Congdon is also working on a show for HBO Online. Ask a Ninja just signed a deal to monetize its website in a deal worth at least $300K rather than having to take its creativity elsewhere.

Gets a break? You mean steals it? I agree with Second That. Everyone has their place, but Amanda's place is not as a web authority.

Tech nerds are not hard to please, Amanda. You'll get 15 minutes in LA and then we'll be seeing you on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" with all the other hasbeen b-listers
