It’s true – April Fools’ day was once a pretty cool thing with clever pranks and bogus PR releases that tricked thousands. Now it’s turned into just another marketing tactic to get a few more eyeballs on a company, product, or service.
It’s overplayed, overdone, and the “genius” of it all is all but completely gone. I’m sure I will, at some point, walk through a recap or roundup of the “Best April Fool’s Jokes of 2013!!!!!!!!!!11111111111” somewhere on Mashable or another similar social media site but at this point I think I’ll just plug in my earphones, go heads-down on some work, and walk through the next 24 hours briskly.
Sure, toss a few links our way if you think they are really good, especially if they are from a WordPress-centric company – put them in the comments section if you must and yes, I’ll take a look at them.
Or, why not really entertain yourself with this clever “Easter Egg” (how appropriate because Easter Sunday was yesterday) via your own WordPress system?
