I just read a story that Amanda Congdon has been let go by ABCNews. To that I say, BIG DEAL!
I hope she comes back to the Internet where she belongs.
If this proves one thing too me it is that the Internet is for the most part a level playing ground. Will she have the same size audience that she potentially had on ABC? Not right now but the other thing to consider is that all of the audience she has on the net is entirely hers, she does not have to have it filtered through all of the various channels and loops that were required to transition from the Internets biggest celebrity to another face on a network.
This is a great day for her and I am confident she will advance beyond what she could have with ABC.
To prove my point about the Internet being a level playing ground check out this story about Ashley Qualls who at 17 years of age is making millions of dollars per year through her MySpace Page and through a site she created called WhateverLife.
We’ll be watching to see where Amanda lands and where Ashley goes.
