Lyin' Layne

Here’s a fascinating Blogosphere story that’s been all-but-ignored by just about every blog I read: a Minnesotan calling herself “Plain Layne,” ran a deeply personal and confessional blog for more than two years, amassing thousands of regular readers- until the entire thing was revealed as a hoax, written by a 31-year-old man. Minnesota alt-weekly City Pages has the full story, as does Minnesota-native blogworld superstar Jason Kottke.
