GigaOm head Om Malik and TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington were supposed to lead a talk on the "Cult of Blogging" today at some blog conference in Las Vegas. Neither showed. Om, apparently called in sick, while Arrington, according to Leo Laporte, "forgot" about his commitment. The replacement? A chat with Justine Ezarik, who hosts a lifecasting videoblog under the name iJustine. For attendees who were disappointed by the switch, we offer one consolation: The comely video blogger is far, far easier on the eyes than Arrington or Malik. Hail the new cult leader!

..too bad she's an idiot.
I thought she did a good job. She was stepping in to fill the big boys shoes and overall was fine.
Leo made some statements that were competely wrong :), Justine was open and honest.
I would have loved to have sat on that panel too as a replacement - would have been good to have another person as well.
thx for link!
iJustine is not an idiot.
Here is a better photo of Justine.

@waynelambright: nope. not better. still looks like a real doll.
No offense but I would have been pissed to pay to go to a conference and have somebody like that speaking to me about business.
Zoli - you gotta be kidding me - im a total sexpot :)
