Searching for fun April Fools’ pranks to add a bit of cheer to the day? Look no more. Although we don’t have a joke this year, like 2006’s PortalSelect, here’s a quick roundup of some of the best ones this year.
- Yahoo debuted Yahoo Ideological Search (and it actually works!) that allows you to control the ideology of your search results;
- The folks at Reddit changed their website to make it look like Digg;
- Kodak introduced the eyeCamera 4.1 – a camera that can be worn in front of the eye, complete with a Wink and Shoot Shutter;
- Daily Kos is switching to virtual punch card readers (because who needs fancy-shmancy technologies like AJAX, anyway?);
- Pingdom launched a hilarious campaign to Save Internet Explorer 6;
- The Guardian announced it would stop publishing its print edition and switch to Twitter only (any news story can be one hundred and forty characters);
- And Sojourners announced that Rush Limbaugh has accepted Jim Wallis’ invitation to deliver a keynote address at its Mobilization to End Poverty.
Finally, the BBC has a list of ten stories that could be April Fools’ jokes, but aren’t.
