I am a regular reader of the Fake Steve Jobs blog, which if you haven't heard of, and have a broad sense of humor regarding Apple, is definitely worth the occasional read.

So there was an article recently disparaging Facebook, where "Fake Steve Jobs" refers to Facebook as "Webkinz for adults". Tim's daughter was showing me Webkinz a few weeks back, so the connectiong definitely clicked for me as soon as I read the article. All of this fuss about Facebook, FSJ was pricking a well deserved pin into the inflated worth of Facebook.

So being a regular user of Facebook, I updated both my Twitter and Facebook status to "FSJ says Facebook = Webkins". Short and to the point, and something that I thought might provoke some thought. This was Friday.

On Saturday, I get an email saying that "Siooma" was now following me on Twitter. I immediately recognized "Siooma" as being associated with the Fake Steve Jobs blog. (You will have to research the meaning of "siooma" for yourself...) The only connection I can make is that somehow my Twitter status with FSJ in the text must have triggered some kind of bot or just someone manually searching for it causing me to be added...

It's not that big of deal, it just took me by surprise and I thought I would share the experience.
