Below is the back story of how this ridiculous video came to be. Its 100% true. NOTE: I am the original creator of the video below. I am not gay, just a big dork. CEO of Twitter, Evan Williams, grew sick and tired of the Twitter community’s obsession with Steve Wozniak on Dancing with the Stars. Perturbed by Wozniak induced Fail Wales, Williams rang Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, to see if they were having any performance problems caused by Wozniak mania. Zuckerberg accredited the firing of FB’s CFO to his inability to close a new round of fund raising in time for Wozniak mania which was causing performance issues. Michael Arrington of TechCrunch caught wind the two were talking and for the 100th time assumed an acqusition was in place. Balmer was tipped off about the call and brought in Jerry Yang to stage an intervention with Williams and Zuckerberg on best practices to avoid a botched acquisition. Balmer liked the idea of FB buying Twitter, but Yang thought the acquisition price substantially undervalued Twitter. When all the parties realized that this was all induced over Wozniak, they said efff it, we can show that guy a thing or two about dancing.
