um, this was news last week.
I posted this on your youtube page but wanted to post this message here so that you guys to read it.
Well done Rocketboom, I thought this was very well done and extremely well put together. Well balanced and Molly did a brilliant job as always.
I look forward to your other videos this week, and hope that others watching them might learn something and grow up with their comments.
Peter
How about auctioning items from the Rocketboom studio on eBay and selling the proceeds to help Japan?
Dear Molly RocketBoobs,
Thanks for helping! Even us geeks need to know what’s going on, since we’re probably not watching Anderson Cooper 24/7 like most people. Beside, you’re much more interesting to look at!

Ok, last comment.. I promise. Can you guys at Rocketboom please disable comments on your youtube videos, but allow them on your main site? At least that gives you more control of what is posted on there, since most of the comments are quite sad and pathetic by some of the youtube user. Sadly they are getting in the way of the positive comments. Thanks!
Sad that RB used the Japan disaster as an excuse to take a break. The way things are, they needed one.
RB has been a mess long beforehand.
Ellie, Yatta, Leah and others all publicly quit. Ella has quietly disappeared, so she’s likely gone.
I hope Molly is putting the screws to RB and getting $$$, or threatening to leave and putting the show in even longer-term distress.
Molly – you’re in a great bargaining position.
Naturally Ellie moved on: she’s talented, beautiful, geeky and has certainly built powerful connections in the Internet corporate world. How many well remunerated job offers she must have got from the myriad rich or promising geeks she has interviewed one can only guess. Rocketboom is a launchpad for journalistic careers, so as such it’s a success.
Actually what RB have done is clever. After a week of 24/7 news coverage of the quake and it’s after effects it was always going to sadly loose appeal with newspapers/news stations etc. What RB have done is to help prolong support for long term aid which is still very much needed in north eastern Honshu. Latest reports state that it might take at least 5 years for that part of Japan to rebuild itself.
Where can I find those maps you showed on this video?
Thank you
Hi MOlly! How about a “penny donation, penny jar”. Its just a silly idea but it seems to me allot of pennies just sit around and never get used, and also I think there is a copper shortage. What if people donated pennies to help the people of Japan. If everyone in the US donated pennies that would add up and be used for something good! I don’t know maybe this isn’t a good idea but its something. Probably just like anything else it just needs good marketing.
Peter S. – You’re clearly new to the RB comments. I have witnessed hundreds of inappropriate comments that are usually off-topic and quite offensive. With regards to this thread, I’m cautiously hopeful…
I’ve been watching RB for about a year now and only paid a small amount of attention to the comments. Stupidly I thought with a situation like RB are professionally covering that the comments would be as mature as the situation is terrible!
Cider Press, Rocketboom didn’t have any Writers last week.
As you probably know by now, almost ALL the on-air talent quit.
There may be some news in a couple of weeks regarding what is going on or what has been going on behind closed doors at RB, but for the moment, I am unable to get ANY answers.
I thought this video was terrible. Molly adopts her usual cheerful tone that seems to indicate she’s not paying any attention to what she’s talking about. Rocketboom has been going downhill for a long time and I’d be surprised if it’s around much longer.
A full week of content?
Apparently you guys can’t remember that Tuesday comes before Wednesday and you had no new content at all yesterday.
You guys aren’t delivering the goods any more.
Goodbye and good luck.
Consider tourism to Japan when things stabilize. Tourism in Japan can help their economy regrow.
