However, everything has now come to an end. "I'm sailing away" Lyons said in a blog posting on Wednesday, adding that the real Dan Lyons managed to get admin privileges and "Fake Steve appears to have been wiped out and is unable to log back in."

The truth would appear to be that Lyons is starting a new job at Newsweek and is taking the opportunity to draw a line under the larger than life persona that FSJ has become.

Lyons says that he will be starting a new blog in his own name in the near future, hopefully next week, but you cannot help but wonder if this will have even a fraction of the impact of the Fake Steve Jobs. I suspect he knows as much, which is why that same posting goes on to plug a 'Greatest Hits' book featuring the best of the Fake Steve blog...
