Don’t forget that it’s April 1st in a couple of hours. And you know what that means. The “jokes” have started already, actually. I like what Anil Dash posted earlier:
Having been blogging for a few years, I’ve developed a few annual traditions. This one’s a favorite: Warning you off of lame April Fool’s jokes on the web. Every year, I get called a curmudgeon, or lambasted for having no sense of humor. And every year, the jokes online get lamer and lamer.
Here’s his great post from 2006. April Fool’s Day was a lot more fun before blogging was so popular. Now it’s just annoying. Last year was extra ridiculous, when people were still posting things more than two weeks into April. I hope that doesn’t happen again.
Question everything you read for the next 48 hours. Or at least check it against the list at Wikipedia.
Great post!
I work for the oldest comedy community on the web. We live for April 1st and have a dedicated prank section on the site http://www.zug.com and new press release. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/03/prweb807604.htm. There’s also a really great feature at http://potw.news.yahoo.com/ It would be great to get your feedback.
