April Fools Day: The Best Spoof I've Seen in Years
Found in ... Blog Stuff
As we all know today is April Fools Day, and today is a day in which many enjoy placing witty little tricks on each other. During my years of wondering the Blogging community, many of the "Topper Dogs" have done cute little switcheroos and manipulations to their sites as April Fools pranks. This year I was rather disappointed in the effort. Usually I can count on something clever from MetaFilter, but it seems they forgot or just plan old lost interest. In past years MetaFilter has done total site skins to make it look like they had been taken over by Google -which was hilarious-, but to my dismay absolutely ZERO effort this year. Speaking of Google, they too have completed fine misconceptions in the past. This year the minds at Google were not as bad as MetaFilter, but I still think their stab at a good joke was rather lame. Check out the Google Gulp pageto view this year trick. It's cute don't get me wrong, but I still think it is a bit short of a knee slapper. Then just before I was going to give up, I swung by the fine people at Defamer -not expecting them to play a prank, just to read whats up- and they had a post to a new Blog Hosting site TeeVee. This new blogging service is for super stars who want to Blog, and it is owned by Matthew Perry. I honestly hope that this is the playful doings of the beloved SixApart, because if it is Frick'n Brilliant thank you SixApart for making my day. Seriously check out the site, they really did put a lot of effort on this one. Over 6 or 7 mock star Blogs, and a demo section. They even added a link to their more hardcore version Immovable Object. Frick'n Brilliant.
p.s. And if it wasn't SixApart, then who ever you are, you're frick'n Brilliant
