Google April Fool's Joke...Can't Wait for it!

For many years (2000 - 2007), Google has chosen April 1st for launching some of its actual products.Ex. Google launch its Gmail (1GB) shortly before 31st of March 2004 Midnight. Many people thinks its fake because at that time, no one ever offer free 1GB of storage before. And also because of many other products that released on April 1st turns to be fake. Google use this as a marketing strategy as everyone would spread the news around thinking that this is not real, but then surprise to realize that it is real. 

But the other fake products also too good to be true...

They're listed as follows ~>

2005 - Gmail Paper & Google TiSP

Wow! 2 new service in one day! Google Paper is a new service for Gmail (the joke that I liked most too) It adds a Paper Archive button in GMail. When you click it after selecting some emails...it'll print them on a '96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum' and send them to you absolutely FREE!!! This is because of the ad that is printed on the back of each paper. If your email got pictures(attachment), it'll print them on high quality glossy paper!

Google Paper : HERE!

Google TiSP is the shortform of Toilet Internet Service Provider. It provide free internet access of 2Mb/s, but Google also provide Enterprise version of 4Mb/s & 8Mb/s...all for a very low price! You can still use your toilet after connecting to the service! But Sadly, it only available in US and Canada for NOW!

That's all six years of April fool joke....now is for the 2008 one!

Can't wait to see it!...(only 2hours to go.....)
