iJustine to take over Mahalo Daily?

Who will fill the hole soon-to-depart Mahalo Daily host Veronica Belmont left in Jason Calacanis's heart? He's planning an American Idol-type contest to find out. Rumors peg Pittsburgh-native Justine Ezarik, better known as iJustine, as an early favorite. Check out the clip below. In it, iJustine interviews SXSW music attendees to the shortly after SXSW interactive geeks left Austin. "Did you hear they released the iPhone SDK," she asks one music fan. "I don't know what that is" he says. "That's just letters." Good, geek-deprecating stuff. But we're still holding out for Andrew Baron.

Dear Jason; can I play the Simon Cowell part?

@matto: As good as you are at heckling, Ted's more like the tech version of Simon Cowell. Shit, dude's catchphrase is "FAIL."

@sample032: I'd settle for playing Paula to Ted's Simon.

Yeah, but is he sure that all the contestants would actually say yes?

@matto: I see Chadrick as more of the Paula type, but he'd make a decent Seacrest, too.

I'm not resubscribing to it if they keep the same hipster dufus background music that the current Mahalo is inflicting on us.

Who the feck wants crappy techno clappy music behind an interview segment?

If we can just all push crap to the Mahalo.com domain then I can ignore it all in one place. Keep fighting J-Dawg!

hmmm... what happened to my first post?

Anyway, iJustine is confusing. I don't know what it is and why anyone knows what it is.

Is there a friend of iJustine lurking around?

She's nice to look at, but doesn't know 1/8 the tech that Belmont knows. Unless it involves an iPhone or webcam.

I can believe how many brain dead to the net people are. Wow I was really honestly surprised to hear all those answers. Especially with the young crowd like that.
