Fake Steve Jobs blog moves to Forbes web site

Dan Lyons, the Forbes senior editor who was exposed by the New York Times as being the author of the Fake Steve Jobs blog, has moved the blog to the Forbes web site, according to a story on the Forbes site.

The story stated, “‘The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs,’ a satirical blog about Apple‘s iconic chief executive and purporting to be penned by him, will be published in association with Forbes.com starting Aug. 6.

“‘From Jonathan Swift to Jon Stewart, satire has spoken truth to power as well as amused,’ said Forbes.com Editor Paul Maidment. ‘Fake Steve Jobs will add a different voice to Forbes.com, but one that is in the Forbes tradition for both.’

“The 14-month-old blog has intrigued and delighted Silicon Valley insiders with its arch comments on Apple, the technology industry and the music business, and turned the hunt for the identity of its anonymous author, the Fake Steve Jobs, into a virtual party game.”
