This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Kira M. Newman (9 May 2014). "10 Things You Might Not Know about Kara Swisher". tech.co. Retrieved 29 May 2020. Swisher's birthday on Wikipedia is May 9 – today – but it's actually wrong. "I have a birthday every month, it's great," she jokes. "I put fake birthdays all over the Internet."

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:10, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correct birthday?[edit]

Swisher apparently likes to put false birthdays all over the internet, so watch out. I tagged the current birthday in her article (which doesn't seem to have a source) for a citation, and it'd be good to find a reliable source. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She has stated on Twitter that the day is 12/11. On thecut.com, she stated that she's 56 in November of 2019. I'd reckon that this is good enough until we find conflicting sources. –BriefEdits (talk) 05:36, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kara's Burn Book[edit]

Kara's currently pinned tweet links to her new book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Burn-Book/Kara-Swisher/9781982163891 {tweet says "Coming next Tuesday to a hot bookstore near you!..." and webpage says "February 27, 2024" so presumably in shops starting today} (don't have the energy to correctly add to article) - EarthFurst (talk) 23:31, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
