The writer of The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs – a blog where the writer pretends to be the Apple CEO – has been unmasked. A senior Forbes magazine editor, Daniel Lyons, was named as the ‘anonymous’ blogger.
This is however not the end of the road of The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs – the only difference is that it will now be hosted on the Forbes website.
In his blog Lyons said “as you may have heard, I’ve been busted by a newspaper reporter. My cover has been blown. He further pointed out that he is “stunned that it’s taken this long (to discover my identity).”
Lyons had this to say about the New York Times’ Brad Stone who uncovered his identity: “Now you’ve ruined the mystery of Fake Steve, robbing thousands of people around the world of their sense of childlike wonder. Hope you feel good about yourself, you mangina.”
Llyons also poked fun at the blogging community who was unable to solve the riddle of his identity while the more ‘traditional’ Stone did it in only a week.
“One bright side is that at least I was busted by the Times and not Valleywag. I really, really enjoyed seeing those guys keep guessing wrong. For six months Dr. Evil and Mr. Bigglesworth put their big brains together and couldn’t come up with the answer. Guy from the Times did it in a week. So much for the trope about smarty-pants bloggers disrupting old media. Brilliant,” said Llyons.
