Having spent a lot of time on Twitter (You can follow my goings-on there for up-to-the-second mac thoughts) now, I’m starting to get a sense of the community. As I poked around, I found that the micro-blogging community (or “Presence” app, to be buzz-wordy) is full of people posing as Steve Jobs — 7 in all. Consider this post the official guide to the Many Steves of Twitter.
1. Fake “Fake Steve Jobs”
Seen above, an earlier Twitterer claimed the territory of the web’s most famous fake CEO in micro form — only he’s obviously not the real Fake Steve Jobs — he isn’t half the writer of the genuine artificial article: ” Backstage – having some probs with the Powerpoint to Keynote file convertor. I wonder if they notice if we used Powerpoint (on Vista…hmmm)” Pathetic.
For the rest of the list, read on…
2. Lego Steve
Probably the best-written of the fake Steve Twitter feeds is this one marked with the Lego knock-off Steve model that did the rounds a couple months ago. The writing seems dead on, but it’s still obviously not the real deal. Steve doesn’t get presentation jitters!
3. Foreign Steve
Um, it doesn’t sound that much like Steve…
4. Whore Steve
This one doesn’t even try. It seems to just be a feeble attempt to drive traffic for a blog with no audience.
5. Whorer Steve
See above. I don’t know if this is working, folks…
6. Whorest Steve
Sad.
7. Tomb of the Unknown Steve
Someday you’ll update us, Steve…SOMEDAY!
