What are the chances that the Fake Steve Jobs is in fact the real one. I’m not serious, I don’t think so anyway… but:
- The idea that someone suggested to Jobs that he should blog is very plausible. All CEOs these days either have blogs or are encouraged to have one.
- Jobs probably thought it would be unlike Apple and Jobs to do so, because:
a) so much of what makes Apple Apple is the aura and enigma of what Apple will do next.
b) it’s also better to have your customers rave and rant about you than you doing it but yourself.
- But like all forms of self-expression, Jobs was intrigued with the idea of blogging… and he toyed with the notion.
- Ultimately, he felt he just could not do it but wanted to, so he thought it would be better to do it anonymously…
- But doing so anonymously is somewhat counter-effective.
- So he turned the tables and said: “I’ll blog, but pretend it’s not me.”
Odds of this? More importantly, what would he (fake or real) have to say about this:
- Forbes/Blackberry hack job on iPhone/Apple.
- Should Apple / MSFT buy Record Labels?
- Apple CSR: Oh Man…
