Scenario 1:This is real: Instagram hired “Sarper Erel” or purchased Sarper Erel’s original design to produce this app.
Scenario 2:This is a fake: Somebody signed up as fake company using the name “Burbn Inc.”, listed a stub application in the store using screenshots from Sarper Erel’s app, and enlisted Joe Belfiore to post ambiguous tweets for the past two weeks to get people excited about this fake app.
Which do you think is more plausible?
Probably because Daniel knows its fake.
They have rumour-o-meter. If they think its fake, they should still write one with rumourometer at 1 or 2. That way people will have some firm direction
Can anyone confirm this?
