I did get the email, and I did send the tweet. However, I assumed it was a bug in their traffic counting code. However, there is a subset of the social web that measures worth with simple numbers (wheter it be # of Twitter followers, FeedBurner subscribers, or SlideShare views). For the people who fell for it and are always talking about their big numbers, I would imagine that this could make them appear foolish, mostly because putting too much stock in those numbers is foolish in the first place. I think it was a brilliant campaign. We are all talking about SlideShare and #bestofslideshare was a trending topic on twitter. I have a sense that the online slide sharing space is getting more competitive with new services launching, so why not use April 1 to help assert your position as the market leader.
