The Google Fool

Is it just me or was the web especially rife with cheap April Fool’s Day jokes this year?  Not much was really head-scratchingly clever.

A few humorous items did come from Google:

Gmail Paper - receive printed copies of your email

Google TiSP - in-home wireless access via a fiber-optic cable flushed down the toilet

Matt Cutts Blog Hacked - Matt Cutts heads up the webspam team at Google.  This weekend his blog was supposedly hacked and he was mysteriously unable to get to it over the weekend.  :)  As of this post, it wasn’t confirmed by Matt publicly but the evidence suggests this is an elaborate April Fool’s prank.

Next year I think I’ll just hit Mark All as Read in my feed reader on April 1.
