Joe's post was so much fun. Mashable's list of the best site-based pranks is amazing. The lengths to which some of these companies (Bing, Google, Twitter w/ their $5/per month fee for using vowels, etc.) went is staggering. :-)
ReplyDeleteI know! I love how folks really get into celebrating these special days.
DeleteI loved Joe's post. He actually duped me for a couple of seconds! (In my defense it was before I had my morning coffee.) It reminded me a little of his March 26th post, Obsolete Anonymous (http://jakonrath.blogspot.ca/2013/03/obsolete-anonymous.html). I enjoyed that one as well. Entertaining yet true.
