Finally, Veronica Belmont is Back!

As a huge fan of CNet’s "Buzz Out Loud" tech podcast, I was really sad to see Veronica Belmont leave the program a few months ago. Although Tom & Molly are pretty cool themselves, Veronica brought a more youthful perspective to the program, with her love of WoW, lolcats, all things Apple, and the internet in general. Veronica left to join search start-up, Mahalo, where she will now bring her on-screen talents to a daily video show called Mahalo Daily, which launches November 5th. So, what’s the video show about? Mahalo’s CEO, Jason Calcanis, describes it like this:

"The concept was pretty simple: every day talk about something you find really interesting that is related (broadly) to technology, internet culture, or the media….The topics would be researched by our team of Guides before and after we taped the show. So, if our researches at Mahalo were doing search pages ("SeRPs," for search engine result pages) on Halo 3, playing a guitar, or the Tesla electric car, Veronica could then go do a show about those topics. In some cases Veronica might find something interesting (as she is very apt to do) and send that topic down to Mahalo researchers for further investigation. So, imagine mashing up a daily video show like WallStrip or RocketBoom and combining it with the Wikipedia or digg… or something like that. The metaphor is not perfect, but it doesn’t have to be… I think you get the idea: show + research = goodness."

Anyway, here’s a teaser:
