Amanda Thornton Congdon (born August 4,[1] 1981, in New York City) is an American former video blogger.

She began her on-screen career as the first anchor of the online daily news show Rocketboom which she hosted and produced until June 23, 2006.

[4] Andrew Baron, majority stakeholder of Rocketboom, stated she was leaving the show to "pursue opportunities ... in Hollywood"[5] and Joanne Colan stepped in as Congdon's replacement.

The journey took a circuitous route with stops in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, D.C., Missouri, Wisconsin, Arizona and California.

The restaurant serves vegan food for lunch daily, upon which Congdon initially planned to create a website series.
