After being known for close to two years as Fake Steve Jobs, Daniel Lyons, a former Forbes magazine journalist, writing on a blog page entitled The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, decided on shutting down the popular page, moving to Newsweek as a technology columnist and starting a brand new blog Web page under his real name.

“I tried transitioning to other voices, like Jerry Yang’s, but it just didn’t work,” Mr. Daniel Lyons said, referring to Yahoo’s chief of operations. “It seems clear that people reading the blog wanted to read Fake Steve or nothing.” He explained that he grew a bit tired of the fictional creation and also, more relevant, were his worries about cracking jokes at the expense of a person with alleged heath issues. The speculations about Mr. Steve Jobs’ health were started by a report in the New York Times, covering one of last month’s conferences, where he appeared changed.

The huge success of his blog page made him turn his posts into a novel called “Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs, a Parody,” published in October by Da Capo Press, and also prepares a screenplay based on the book, acquired by the Hollywood production company Media Rights Capital. The screenplay does not refer to Mr. Steve Jobs and presents the story of a generic chief executive.

Many are sure to miss Daniel Lyons’ work but it is just a matter of time before he’ll start growing tired of the rather boring technology news and come up with a new and exciting character.
