What do you know, I was right! Admittedly, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to read the tea leaves on this one, but on the latest version of Tekzilla, Veronica Belmont is indeed introduced as the new co-host. As in my earlier prediction post, I still say that the addition of Belmont is exactly what that show needs.

Veronica’s name is now added to a growing list of Internet Hotties who have moved on from their original post. At the top of the list is Amanda Congdon who was the host of RocketBoom, one of podcasting’s earliest hits. She left to go on to bigger and better things. …haven’t heard from her in a while. Maybe it was a bad move.

I don’t see a similar fate for Belmont. Revision3 is fairly established and is getting stronger and stronger each month. It is capitalizing on the audience left behind after the death of TechTV. That is a big audience when compared to the audiences gathered by other Internet ventures. Add to that the growing interest borne out of the web 2.0 era, and it looks pretty sweet for Rev3.

She is leaving behind Jason Calacanis after a fairly short run on Mahalo Daily. I wonder if there is a reason other than the grind of putting together a daily video podcast with a very small team? Also, there is the question of who will take Belmont’s place on Mahalo Daily?

Revision3 looks like a fun place to work.

Good luck Veronica, break a leg!
