Rick Rollin Day - April 1st
Tuesday, 01 April 2008
Today, as most of you will know (or realised by now) is that it's April 1st the coolest day of the year on the internet, this year the theme seems to be somewhat "Rick Rollin" with some major faces featuring him pretty heavily!
- Youtube - 'Featured' videos all link to the infamous Rick Astley video with the username "YTRickRollsYou"
- Google - If anyone gets the prize for most April fools jokes, I'd imagine Google will win it, with already having several online and its what 7-9am in the US?
- Matt Cutts - Isn't doing anything this year, yea sure he isn't! !!Watch this space!!
- Shoe Money - Is giving away secrets for 1000 dollars in an hour? Yea sure he is!
- Search Engine Watch - Are opening offices in Tokelau - Lol I got RickRoll'd open with care!!!
- Techcrunch - Are sueing Facebook, o'rly?
- Apple is to ship laptops running Ubuntu
;-). As its early, I'm sure there will be more throughout the day I'll keep this as up to date as I can! Google I must say are on a roll this year I wonder what else the day will bring from them. Let me know in the comments if you know of any and I'll feature them here.

Some of those links are very funny. I really laughed at the Google Wakeup Kit. I remember a year or two ago they had a free cable internet connection that you flush down your toilet.

The funny thing is, that there really is an ISP that users the sewer systems to route cables around more cost effectively than digging up the roads.
