April Fools and your business?

[Craig Dewe]

Just wondering who else did something for April Fools day for their business. I read a suggestion on a blog the other day about using it to promote your website and decided to give it a go.

So I just did a blog post about how I was lying to all my readers about how to really be successful online and then created a pretend product The Evil Genius Guide To Business: Fight, Maim, and Murder your way to success in business.

I hope some of them get a laugh out of it!

What did other people do and have you seen any other good ideas?

The link that we was posted regarding a body advertising for laptops direct was perfect advertising...I forwarded onto everyone at work...

Do you have the link Maria? I'd be curious to see the example.

The penguins are great, two of my other favourites I've found come from Google:

Virgle - Virgin and Google combine to colonise Mars
Predict the future with Google Australia

Apparently it is worth having all those smart people working there
