Google plays April Fool’s Day joke with Gmail Custom Time
I was about to login to my Gmail when I noticed Google’s “latest addition” - an option that allows the user to alter the timestamp of the email sent, to make it look as if the user sent the email at a different time.
Since I don’t trust anything on April 1, I decided this was Google’s joke for us all. I anyway took a look at the “testimonials” of those who had “used” the beta version of this. Well, those testimonials are fake, but hilarious! Read them:
“The entire concept of ‘late’ no longer exists for me. That’s pretty cool. Thanks Gmail!”
Miriam S., Delivery girl
“I used to be an honest person; but now I don’t have to be. It’s just so much easier this way. I’ve gained a lot of productivity by not having to think about doing the ‘right’ thing.”
Todd J., Investment Banker
There’s also Virgle!

Yes, and then the unofficial Earth Hour 2008, which is not really a joke but turned looks like a real unintended joke. Coming in my next post.
