Fake Steve Jobs Has Sailed Away
One of my favorite blog reads has been The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs penned by Forbes’ Dan Lyons, known to most of us as Fake Steve Jobs or FSJ. So, like many regular readers, I wondered what was going on when last month he wrote that he was “sailing away” and would be writing as “Real Dan” instead of “Fake Steve”.
Well, here’s what happened. After 10 years, Dan is leaving (or has already left) Forbes to fill the vacancy at Newsweek left by Steven Levy, who is moving on to Wired. Dan’s new blog, Real Dan, is up and running. Check it out. If “Dan” evolves as did “Fake Steve”, it’ll be a fun read.

I never read this site, but looking back at some of the older posts makes me wonder what the real Steve Jobs must have thought of it. pretty funny stuff!
We liked the site too. Some of the articles were pretty funny. Sorry to see it go but we will visit the new "Dan" site.
Great blog, sorry it has sailed away. Hope the new blog is half as good.
I'm glad he's finally out of my hair! Now maybe people will stop misquoting me!
Did Forbes actually pay him to write that, or was that all on his own?
He is a funny guy, I bet the new blog will be equally popular.
How was he able to get away with this and not be sued by the real Steve Jobs? Maybe he was and that is why he stopped doing it?
