LinkedIn Q&A Event | When Guy Kawasaki met Fake Steve Jobs
Here's a very quick update on the LinkedIn Q&A event held recently at the Computer History Museum. Stay tuned for the entire video presentation of the event, coming up shortly right here on the blog.
We had a little over 300 attendees for the 2 hour laugh riot, which featured author (Options)/blogger (Fake Steve Jobs blog)/Senior editor (Forbes) -- Dan Lyons. Despite facing a barrage of questions ranging from the genesis of the blog to the drama of being outed as Fake Steve Jobs (FSJ), Dan managed to entertain with his quick wit and along the way revealed some interesting episodes from his new book "Option$" (out in book stores now).

We kicked off the event with a few quick words from Dan Nye, our CEO, and then let Guy Kawasaki grill Dan Lyons on his numerous fake shenanigans! To make matters more interesting, we invited a surprise guest Brad Stone from the New York Times (NYT) to join them on stage. Those of you familiar with the FSJ saga, will recognize Brad as the "world's greatest investigative reporter", who outed Fake Steve Jobs in a much publicized NYT post almost three months ago.
Stay tuned for the video of the entertaining evening that we'll be sharing with you shortly on the blog (Subscribe)! In the meanwhile, here's some coverage of the event:
1. Pictures from the event
