April Fools!

Google always seems to go all out for April Fools day. This year was no exception. 


"Are you an incredibly fast Google searcher? Like, so fast that you can do 20 searches before your mom does 1?"


If so, you may be eligible for Google's job position as an 'Autocompleter':

They also announced that, as of April 4th, they would be changing to Comic Sans font, as people apparently preferred it. They were rolling it out as a Google Chrome Extension under the title "Comic Sans for Everyone". The best part, it actually works! Funny stuff! - http://www.google.com/landing/csfe/


Google China also claimed to have invented a teleportation machine! =P


Google's main prank of the year though, inspired by the Xbox Kinect:

As for other well known websites, Youtube celebrated their '100th year anniversary" by uploading some videos of the popular viral videos of the time, and I think it was "Hulu" that went retro, displaying their site in a format that would've been popular in 1996, and committing all the horrible HTML formatting horrors of the time! 


Seeing what the big corporations come up with is one of my favourite aspects of April Fools Day, apart from pulling pranks on your friends and teachers, of course! ^_^

Very fitting lolcat, I've been feeling 'bleh' all day..

Au revoir,

John.
