Or maybe you aren’t Daniel! In the hall of mirrors that is Web 2.0 (and now 3.D) we may never know.

One small correction - looking back at the Lonleygirl post, that quote is not from me its from danah. I thought it sounded way too smart for something I said. I am even starting to think Bill Taylor may not be a real person either.

So does that mean that Vint Cerf didn’t really comment on my blog? I am crushed, simply crushed. Goodbye cruel worlds!

Wow, thanks. I was just writing a spoof press release that I assumed would immediately be exposed as a fake since it doesn’t have a verifiable source and frankly is just ludicrous. It wasn’t even my first spoof press release (http://www.rikomatic.com/blog/2006/10/castronova_anno.html) and certainly won’t be my last.

Here’s the real story, in case folks are interested: http://www.rikomatic.com/blog/2006/12/the_real_skinny.html
