Subscribe to RSSGoogle's April Fools Hoaxes: Gaining Popularity, Fooling Anyone?
The April Fools hoaxes by Google have become widely known in some circles, but judging by the email I got from a friend this morning asking if I’d seen the new Gmail feature of Custom Time, not everyone has caught on. The pages are well done and it’s easy to see how someone not really paying attention could be fooled by some of the "new offers" at first glance.
The hoaxes started back in 2000 but last year was the biggest yet for Google with two fake offers. There were more than one million visits to the combination of Gmail Paper and Google TiSP (Toilet Internet Service Provider) pages in April last year.
Anyway, I wonder if I’ve got a shot at living on Mars…
