Attractive MTV VJ Joanne Colan replaces Amanda Congdon



Rocketboom viewers - do not press the unsubscribe button yet.

Andrew Baron has discovered another very glamorous woman to replace Amanda Congdom. Though Andrew isn't confirming, it's very likely that former MTV Europe presenter Joanne Colan will be the new Rocketboom girl.

Now the next herculean task for Andrew will be to prevent things from breaking apart again when Joanna attains the iconic status of Amanda, else that may spell the doom of Rocketboom.

Two great minds, Scoble and Jason, have lot of advice and good suggestions for managers about retaining talent - "the more talented the person the more work it is to support them because they want to do bigger and better things all the time. " [Thanks Amit]

Nathan Weinberg would be much pleased as the new Rocketboom host is not a blonde but a Brunette. The MTV French website has a detailed bio of Joanne Colan. She is from Lancashire, UK. Jeremiah Owyang links to a video of Joanne Colan on Fine Living, Any Given Latitude a Travel Show.

Comparing the picture of Joanne with Amanda, who do you think is more pretty ? More discussion happening at TechMeme.

Update: Joanne Colan is confirmed to be the new face of Rocketboom. Joanna even made her debut blog post here today - "You've found me - Joanne C., Host of Rocketboom.com"

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
