Just a few days ago, we reported that online video blog Rocketboom's former host Amanda Congdon had signed a development deal with HBO. Well, while she's raking in the premium cable dough, she'll also be broadcasting on ABC as a contributor to the network's digital channel ABC News Now. She'll make occasional appearances on ABC's televised news programs and will be making a weekly video blog for abcnews.com on new media, political and environmental subjects.

Congdon may be the first "cewebrity" to land a deal with a major network, but she's just one of many to use the internet as a launching pad to wider fame. United Talent Agency's Digital Talent Agency has already signed Hosea "Ze" Frank, host of The Show with Ze Frank, and Kent Nichols, co-creator of the Ask a Ninja video blog.

Amanda Congdon, co-founder and former host of comedy video blog Rocketboom.com, is working with HBO to develop a multiplatform comedy series with televised and online components.

In addition to owning Rocketboom, Congdon has appeared on stage and in commercials. She intends on both writing and starring in the new HBO series. Most networks are exploring working online and on television simultaneously thanks in part to YouTube, iTunes and the online success of show's like The Office whose public service announcements and deleted scenes have become popular virals driving traffic to NBC's website.

Between this and the blogger who went on to become a non-unionized writer for America's Next Top Model, which path from the internet to television industry fame would you choose? It pays to be cute, blonde and videocast.
