I’ve considered it. If I could find a decent magazine dumb enough to listen and share my views I’d be happy with that.

Uh, no harm homie.
…I mean, there’s at least a few mil other fake bios out in twitter-land

It was published in the most boring way possible– a magazine. No online version exists. Really helps with my Google Authorship!

Joking aside, having a real magazine I can show to people (other than my mom, apparently) is pretty rad.

Win/win! Is there a link to your post or was it purely boring offline?

Hey Michael, this is just a personal blog where I write about and discuss ideas that I’ve had. Apologies for attempting to sabotage the industry.

Entertaining story but how is this “amazing” or indicative of masterful deceit?
…Dude just lied in his twitter bio. He’s not the first and if more people do the same we’ll all just be more careful in vetting others’ online personas.

Now in my outreach I’ll tell people I wrote for Wired and if they call me on it I’ll say it was a typo and I meant ‘The Wire.’ Perfect!

I think I’d be tempted to use it at some point but I’m not sure what for yet. I know there are white knights out there worried about the implications of such an idea but I’d rather at least discuss it than just think ‘this could be good’.

I’ll try to man, no promises though…

LOL.

Yeah there have been the unscrupulous among us who may have tried and succeeded using this tactic, not that i would ever point elbows 😉

Nice post mate, just remember me when you get verified and published on wired!
