This is why I'm skeptical of anything posted on the internet on April Fool's Day. You can't believe anything posted on the 1st of April because all the fake news gets mixed in with the real news. Oh well, here are three fun April Fool's jokes I found this day in 2008.
Google gDay with MATE
"Google Australia has introduced a new feature, enabling you to search content on the internet before it is created."
Gmail Custom Time
"Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option."
Aviary Dodo: Web-based Time Machine
"We've been working feverishly around the clock on this new tool which will allow you to age and de-age people, places and things from any browser with Flash 9 enabled."
Remember: Be careful what you post to Digg or on your blog with the intention of it being real news today. You don't want to look like an idiot. Last year, a family member actually fell for Google's 2007 April Fool's announcement. I got an email with the subject "hey dave! check out this cool new service from google!" Believe me, the person that sent it (who will remain complety anonymous besides the fact that he/she was a family member) was totally serious.
