Andrew Michael Baron, creator of Rocketboom, talked to the first gathering of the NYVideo vlogger group Wednesday night, July 26,2006, and vlogger Randolfe Wicker captured Baron’s talk:

According to Baron, vloggers have a unique “window of opportunity”; vlogging offers even niche markets a previously impossible worldwide audience; and Rocketboom is just the poster-child for a media no longer monopolized by multi-millionaires.

He announced a new sale of $40,000 for one week’s advertising on his show. He also revealed some of his most personal feelings about the departure of Amanda Congdon, and the effect of Congdon’s leaving Rocketboom.
