As it became a tradition, Google made a few April Fool’s Day jokes. Here is a list of the best ones:
- Virgle, http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html
- AdSense for conversations, http://adsense.blogspot.com/2008/04/introducing-adsense-for-conversations.html
- GMail Custom Time (this one rocks!), http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html
- Google Calendar Wake up Kit, http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/new_wakeup.html
- Google Books Search Smell, http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2008/04/google-book-search-now-smells-better.html
- Google Weblogs, http://buzz.blogger.com/2008/04/announcing-google-weblogs-beta.html
- Google Talkabout, http://googletalk.blogspot.com/2008/03/google-talk-goes-green.html
Microsoft did a very good joke also. Channel9 featured an interview with Brian Beckman on “Project Quark”, about a quantum computer developed at Microsoft.
