April Fooled?


April Fools Day was yesterday and many jokes ensued on the internet. Call me gullible, but I fell for most of them.

The first one that I caught was that the social media tool Twitter was applying for the top level domain (TLD) ".tweet"

Gmail AutopilotTM by CADIE offered a way to automatically respond to the massive amount of email traffic that many people have to deal with day in and day out. The mock program had options to adjust tone, typo propensity, and preferred punctuation for each email.

In other news:
* Taj Mahal to be moved '800 metres to the South East' - Worldreviewer.com.

* Hotels.com to offer rooms on the moon - Hotels.com

* Travel Rants working with travel industry to improve British tourism - Travel Rants.

* Thomson space plane to launch by 2010 - TTG

* Ryanair to launch new Plus and Irish Gold luxury class flight services - Skyscanner

* Bailout special - Lincoln bedroom in the White House - IStopOver

And finally, the Hotelicopter - the world's first flying hotel.


What was your favorite April Fool's prank this year?
