April Fools From Google


April 1st, 2007 by Matthew Jabs

Today while surfing the web I saw a link on Google’s home page that read, “New! Get FREE breakthrough broadband with Google TiSP (BETA).”

Needless to say, I clicked the link.  I read through the offer thinking…”Is this for real?”  I called my wife into the room to help me decipher the validity of the information.  Could it be, free internet through your toilet?  No….

After following through the links on the page, and reading all the instructions on how to install your own toilet internet, I finally reached “the catch“.  APRIL FOOLS FROM GOOGLE!

Dang…they got me again this year!!

A few other Google April Fool’s pranks:

  1. Google Romance
  2. Google Gulp
  3. Google Jobs
  4. Google Technology
  5. Google MentalPlex

Enjoy, and Happy April Fool’s Day!

The Sloof Lirpa Center announced Google AdSense has serious code vulnerabilities.

I have to admit, I got caught by three different places (not Google). I hate April 1st.

Thanks for not playing an April Fool’s joke on your readers by sending us to Google to get fooled also!

You know…I thought about it, but I don’t usually blog on Sundays…so instead of thinking of an original April Fool joke, I figured I’d let my readers know how I was taken by Google yet again!
