April Fools’ Day on the web

Posted by Chilli on Apr-1-2008

Every year, a bunch of websites like to change a bunch of things on their sites for April fools day. Some of the niche news blogs start covering different things, such as Kotaku.com covering cake instead of video games. Some websites make up fake news, such as Blizzard.com introducing fake in game content like the Bard Hero Class or the Tauren Marine ( couple years ago they got me with the in game chinese food ordering from Pandaren Xpress). Gizmodo is including Mr. T in every one of their posts. Here is a complete list: April fools day on the web.

A couple other good ones:

Engadget vs T-Mobile

I’m usually a loyal Gizmodo reader, but Veronica Belmont’s Twitter pointed me toward this Engadget post, and I found it rather entertaining. Essentially, T-Mobile is telling Engadget that they can’t us the color magenta. I’ll have to keep an eye on this.

Note: For a good article about the Gizmodo/Engadget rivalry check out this Wired article.
