April Fools in 2007

I don’t know whether these announcements are for real or not but today is the first of April so I classified them as April fools.

1. TechCrunch Has Acquired FuckedCompany.com This announcement did fool a lot of TechCrunch’s readers. The reason of this may be due to one day early of the announcement. I think this is the best of all fools.


2. Google announces free in-home wireless broadband service (Google TiSP):



TiSP in-home wireless broadband is:
- Free, fast and highly reliable
- Easy to install -- takes just minutes
- Vacuum-sealed to prevent water damage

There is also a press release. I think it is funny.

3. Google Paper is a new feature being promoted on the Gmail home page. You click a request and Google will deliver paper through a normal mail. It’s free since the mailing fee is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints.

4. Jim Lanzone Video Announcement: Kevin Federline's Search With Kevin service is being acquired and merged with Ask, to create Ask Kevin. This fools no one.
