Even though most of us never got an opportunity to meet Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in person, we still felt a connection to the man, the myth, the legend through the products he introduced. Now, Apple has collected emails from more than a million of you in a new page on the company’s website.
Apple has updated the page which used to hold co-founder Steve Jobs’ corporate bio, now titled “Remembering Steve.” After soliciting comments from product owners and fans all over the world, the company is now posting more than a million of them in an automatically updated page that scrolls every few seconds.
“Over a million people from all over the world have shared their memories, thoughts, and feelings about Steve,” the page header reads. “One thing they all have in common -- from personal friends to colleagues to owners of Apple products -- is how they’ve been touched by his passion and creativity. You can view some of these messages below.”
And it’s not too late to add your own -- the company continues to make available a public email address at rememberingsteve@apple.com where you can add your own thoughts and have them posted for the world to see.
The new “Remembering Steve” page went live on Wednesday in conjunction with a private, company-wide celebration of Steve Jobs’ life taking place on the Apple campus in Cupertino on October 19. Apple retail stores will also close for several hours today during the event in order for employees there to view a live webcast of the service.
