April fool's was a "mute day" for me. There was indeed a lot of confusion on
posts made that day. LOL

Agreed – I maintain blog and Twitter radio silence on April 1 because no one takes today seriously.

No rage here Tyler, just venting. I'm not a big fan of being fooled, which is ironic since I find joy in building sites like http://www.blogbucks.com. Satire is one thing though.

You have effectively explained why you hate launching products on april fools day, but why should you hate the holiday, do you really launch enough products that the material loss of 3 days fills you with rage?

I think there is huge opportunity for people to utilize April Fool's Day for fun marketing ploys… stuff way outside the box that could get people talking….. just don't take it too far like those guys in Boston who got jailed for their viral campaign for that cartoon…

One example… I'm using it now to type this (and you are using it to read this): GMail. Launched April 1, 2004.
