Ran across these yesterday. I'm wondering what Google has in store for us this year? 😀

Google Gulp (2005) – An energy drink that supposedly boosted drinkers’ intelligence, allowing them to use Google more efficiently.
Google Romance (2006) – An online dating service powered by Google’s search algorithm, offering “contextual dates.”
Google TiSP (2007) – A Toilet Internet Service Provider that mocked Internet-via-power-line services by promising broadband ‘net access via your sewer line.
AdSense for Conversations (2008) – One of about a dozen hoaxes in ‘08, this product offered to serve contextual ads — via a large LCD whiteboard hat — based on what you say out loud to other human beings.
 
You know each year its gotta get better somehow and a little more tricky. If you were Google what would you do? 🙂 I know what I would do but we can just blame that on me being sneaky today since I really do not want to be working and have been hiding like a ninja for the most part. 😀
 
Lol. Me too, I wonder what Google has stored for us this year. I bet it's going to be exciting since it just gets better each year. But I'm not going to be fooled this year too! 🙂
 
Every year, Google seems to top itself on April 1, so this year needs to be real outstanding....the best thing about their pranks is that they always come with a hint of plausibility.
 
Google will stop Internet by shutting down all their services for 1 day with a message "all servers are in maintenance" to see just how many more suicides take place as a result that day.
 
Google will stop Internet

I imagine that traffic levels across the web will drop instantly. Then everyone will switch to yahoo or bing. The joke would be on Google. 😀
