Fake Steve Jobs Revealed As Forbes Editor Daniel Lyons

Authored by Jay Baage on August 6, 2007 - 4:20am.

San Francisco - Daniel Lyons, a senior editor at Forbes Magazine, is the anonymous writer behind the very popular blog “The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs.” Daniel has been working on a book “Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs, a Parody”, which will be published by Da Capo Press in October.

New York Times San Francisco technology correspondent Brad Stone broke the story in a recent article. Fake Steve Jobs was quick to respond on his blog with an attack on fellow bloggers at the funny technology gossip site Valleywag that have been speculating about the identity of Fake Steve for a long time.

“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.”
