april fool!

  It seems that this is no joke. Which brings me to an interesting question: why would you release anything true on April 1st? It just lends itself to be second guessed and it could miss a critical uptake period of the first day of release...

    It's fun. You say "No way! That was way too obviously a joke, guys." And they say "seriously, try it", and lo and behold, it actually works. It's kind of like a 2nd-order April Fool's joke--they trick you into thinking they're tricking you.

    Not if your product has a too good to be true factor. For instance, the gmail release worked out really beautifully.

      While surprising, I think GitHub's announcement today fails to meet that criteria.

    Gmail. Gmail's ridiculous "endless" storage space. Both were launched on an April 1.
