April Fool’s List
Posted on April 1, 2008 by Mystech in JournalViewed: 1005 timesFirst one that hit (and missed) me this morning was Google’s announcement of Gmail’s new ability to send email into the past. Nice try guys: https://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html
I’ll update this list as I encounter new ones. You’re welcome to add any you run into as well.

World of Warcraft will be introducing a new Hero class called the Bard in Wrath of the Lich King. They power their abilities with something called Groove. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/features/bard/bardclass.xml
I believe that the fact I’ve even spotted all three of these today sufficiently defends my geek cred. ;)
