    Blackberry CEO John Chen's hilarious tweet - sign with an S Pen...-img_20150115_090435.png

    Samsung said they wanted to have drinks. I woke up with a contract in one hand and a S Pen in the other. #CES2015 #WhatHappensInVegasLeaks

    Hahaha, nothing more to add... :-)

    I have heard that Mr. chen is not amused by that tweet from Kevin. The media thought the account was legit, stock rise up, etc. That was a bad move.

    Read more at Bloomberg and Ars Tecnica. I guess Kevin will close this account. "Kevin out".

    He is on his high pedestal since he stood in line for his Iphone. And using this fake account for jokes influences the stock price. You may laugh, but many watched for this tweet NOT knowing that it is the cool Kevin who acts as a comedian.

    That was not so cool. Delete this account.

    Kevin has changed and not for the better. He got money and fame and it's gone to his head.

    $500 apps. Gold phones. Etc.

    He will mature down the road, but for now we miss the old "real life" Kevin.

    RIP.

    BlackBerry hates America!

    Kevin deleted the tweets. Let's just say John Chen was less than amused

    You would think that any reporter would have verified who the account belong to before reporting anything. I thought Kevin's tweets were funny and it is not his fault that people did not do their research before jumping the gun and thinking that Chen was said owner of the account. The only downside to this is how Kevin's actions, which I believe was done in good fun, will effect Mobile Nations/Crackberry relationship with Blackberry going forward.

    I can understand Chen not finding the tweets funny, but at the same time the account is not an official blackberry twitter account and thus it should not reflect on the company at all. It is up to the Blackberry's public relations department to make sure that news outlets know what accounts are official Blackberry accounts.

    Maybe I should create a tweet account, BBChenCEO, and start a twitter beef/fight with the T-Mobile CEO to really get people talking.

    I'm pretty certain the media buzz was not caused by this. The media was reporting a meeting which took place and a potential price too. This post didn't include any of this so I'm pretty sure the rumor came from somewhere else.

    This whole little immature fiasco has been a serious waste of my time as I am not sure what is what....reminds me of standing in the line at a grocery store reading the covers of all the dumb *** magazines (doesn't happen often trust me).

    Yes, I think we should ban Twitter accounts that are somehow displeasing to a public company, I mean, if there are limits for satire they aren't about small things like religion or nationality but about how it can somehow affect stock price. This seems sensible to me, especially since publicly traded corporations are a great target for loyalty since they do not care at all about anything else then to please those who have developed a brand fixation and would be incapable of going to far solely for the money and we should side with anything they propose in terms of bans and legislation.

    I'm going to check the Darth Vader and Steve Jobs accounts I'm following, pretty sure they are legit but one never knows.

    Relax guy. If a journalist actually thought it was JC they shouldn't be a journalist.

    Lol THIS, any reputable one look for at least 2 sources before they run a story, at least thats what they did in The Newsroom!, and this tweet wouldn't qualify as a source

    Yes show me where this was reported as news. If it was then I'll gladly stand corrected. Show me where a reliable news source reported this.
