Running for two years, the <A target="_blank" href="http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/">Fake Steve Jobs</A>  blog has become that rare thing: a bona
fide Internet sensation. Written by Daniel Lyons, whose day job was as
a journalist at Forbes Magazine, the blog took the form of a diary
expressed through the voice of Steve Jobs. Not the real Steve Jobs, of
course, but this hugely funny fake one instead.</DIV></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.itwire.com/content/view/19404/53/1/1/" href="http://www.itwire.com/content/view/19404/53/1/1/" style="font-size: 11px;">www.itwire.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.itwire.com/content/view/19404/53/1/1/"><DIV>
Lyons says that he will be starting a new blog in his own name in the
near future, hopefully next week, but you cannot help but wonder if
this will have even a fraction of the impact of the Fake Steve Jobs. I
suspect he knows as much, which is why that same posting goes on to
plug a 'Greatest Hits' book featuring the best of the Fake Steve blog...</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CCC9B06F-A838-4899-8F59-B3E3481AE31C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
