Having Trouble Differentiating Between Web 2.0 News and April Fool's Jokes?

It's getting harder and harder to tell. We still remember this classic from Google (which, naturally, has a new entry this year).

Update: I really wish I could believe this one.

Another update: Our siblings at Make get into the act.

Here's one that crosses many threads.

(Eventually, that link will break. I think this will replace it.)

Still think google's toilet based broadband and gmail paper were stunning! Apart from that, didn't really see too many others.

Not sure where else to post this but I have a Web 2.0 question that may seem humorous (ie: april fools) but...anyway...why are the font sizes so big in Web 2.0? I think it's a bug. It's like the font size menu starts at 16 points or something. Thoughts?

You could go directly to Google's April Fools Search site http://www.googleaprilfools.com/ to search for WEB 2.0.. :)
(No it's not operated by Google...)

O yes, I definitely had a good laugh @ Google's April fool's special - the TISP service. http://www.google.com/tisp/
Here's the funny part, they even have a google help forum for the TiSP service
