O blog da Techcrunch compilou uma pequena lista de blogs falsos de presidentes ou executivos de grandes empresas americanas. Durante essa semana que passou, ficamos sabendo que o “Falso Steve Jobs“, o precursor da onda de blogs falsos representando as grandes personalidades corporativas, irá publicar um livro sobre o assunto.

Vi também um movimento sobre blogs de personagens questionando o velho e enfadado assunto do blogueiro de mentirinha (quem leu meu livro sabe do que estou falando).

O ponto é: todo mundo que eu conheço (real ou virtual) que manteve um blog seriamente e tocou pra frente com dedicação, mais cedo o mais tarde está se despontando de alguma forma. Seja escrevendo livros, ganhando dinheiro com anúncios, alavancando vendas e oportunidades de negócio, ou mesmo (ainda não, mas com certeza não tardará) posando nua.

Chega de papo, vamos à lista (copiada na íntegra):

The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
No list of fake blogs would be complete without the master. Although the blog may have lost its edge since Daniel Lyons was outed as the writer, the site still maintains a strong following and Lyon’s way with words still makes for delicious reading.

The Secret Diary of Steve Balmer
I’ve been reading this fake blog longer than most on this list, and I’m yet to unsubscribe. It’s not as well written as its Steve Jobs equivalent, but it has the occasionally side splitting post. Probably the closest of the bunch to being a direct clone of Fake Steve.

Larry Ellison’s Fake Blog
A decent read, if it times a little heavy, but in context it works. Fake Larry made a brief guest appearance on Fake Steve a little while back, so it’s not inconceivable that the author is Daniel Lyons as well, or someone else who perhaps works with Lyons.

The Secret Diary of Jonathon Schwartz
As the header reads: “Dude, I was the first CEO to even have a blog.” Of course the real Schwartz does maintain his own blog. The way this is written tone wise makes it sound just like Schwartz.

The Secret Diary of Bill Gates
Unfortunately what could have been the best of the bunch is a let down. Poor context and tries too hard to be funny; the difference between clever satire and stupidity is lost on fake Bill Gates. Some may disagree though.
