Aprils Fools Watch: Pre-Game Pranks

By Chacha on March 31, 2009

April Fools day hasn’t even started, and we are already getting pranked. Check out the Pre-Game Pranks. 

  • TheFunded last week wrote a notice saying it would be shutting down. Techcrunch breaks the prank and annouces it is not shutting down.
  • ZDNet gives their own twist on an April Fools gag by annoucing the ‘fake’ winner for the  $4.7 billion National Broadband Network contract.
  • Because Australia is ahead of us, Google has already launched its gBall for Australian footbal users.
  • Smashing Magazine broke a story about Internet Explorer 8.1 and its ability to act like multiple browsers.
  • SitePoint annouces that the internet will reboot at 11:59 UTC on April 1st.
  • PSS annouces IVR-SmartASS – SMART Assisted Self Service System to make sure callers on customer service lines don’t lie.
  • You can flip any YouTube video upside down by adding ‘&flip=1′ to the end of the url.

Check back here for more April Fools fun after the real game starts. Then, after the game, we’ll be wrapping all of it up.
