April Fools Shenanigans

Each April 1st, the internet becomes a much more fun place to explore as the denizens, websites and even corporations try to either make you laugh or trick you.

This year is no exception, with Google taking the lead so far:

gBlimp – new ad serving method

Not as subtle as the Display network, but way more targeted if left on its own

Gmail Motion – no more typing

http://mail.google.com/mail/help/motion.html

Google Docs Motion – move like you’ve never moved before

No more back pain from sitting at the computer. Now you can get back pain the old fashioned way

Google Translate for Animals app

LinkedIn Network – check people you may know

Now that’s what I call networking

Get a job at Google – as an autocompleter

Helvetica – Comic Sans.. what’s the difference?

I actually prefer to use comic sans

YouTube turns 100 – a look back to the early days
