Google April Fools
Google has announced they will be incorporating smell into their searchs with Google Nose
If you have a cold like many people do right now I’m thinking Google Nose is not going to work so well for you, so instead you can get in on a Google Treasure Hunt. Google has found a long last map off the coast of Madagascar in 2012. Google is calling on watchers to help decipher the maps and find the long-lost treasure.
Visit Google Maps and click on the “Treasure” icon in the top right corner. The maps contain a number of Easter eggs including a separate URL with a live pirate ship tracking map and symbols hidden around the globe that spell out “April Fool.” Treasure Island near San Francisco, Calif., has a mini-map with an X marking the spot, and New York City is marked by a pirate’s skull with mysterious numbers in its eyes.
Users can share what they find on Google+ using the hashtag #treasuremap
YouTube April Fools
Hopefully you can see the above videos via YouTube because they too have gotten in on the April Fool’s fun this year announcing they will be shutting down you tube to scour millions of videos uploaded in the last eight years to find the cream of the crop. They will be announcing the winner in…get this….2023.
Viewers can weigh in on the contest on Google+ using the hashtag #bestvideo.
YouTube says it will begin announcing the nominees for best video in a livestream starting at noon ET on Monday. Presenters will then announce all the nominees for 12 hours every day for the next two years.
I am not normally a fan of April Fool’s I hate to see people pranked, embarrassed, scared, and whatever else you want to call it when you knowingly try to fool a person. However these “April Fool’s” jokes made me smile and I have to agree they are fun and rather brilliant, and of course a great marketing campaign.

April Fool’s Day is ok as long as it is just a joke or funny statement like these. I don’t like the type that hurt someones feels.

I like doing April Fools jokes on my family, I got them yesterday, but they are harmless April Fools Jokes. I think this blog post about Google was funny!

I can be – it depends on the joke LOL! One of the companies I follow on FB had a status update for April Fools and I so believed it until I read the comments following it…I felt so silly afterward!
