For April Fool’s Day, Google busted out two new products, TiSP a free “wireless” broadband service for anyone that meets the minimum toilet flush requirements. I wonder if this is what Verizon was thinking when they came out with their so-called, “wireless broadband”?? Google also released Google Paper. This handy service will let you click a print button and Google will snail mail you a printed copy of the page, complete with ads on the back.
News.com got in the game at Cnet.com. Accessify.com announced an early W3C recommendation for WCAG 2.0 and The Apple Safari team announced they were shutting down WebKit and joining Microsoft.
I even read a story about Google Goggles.
TechCrunch’s April Fools joke isn’t even mentionable in our G-Rated report but all the links are posted at wowtechminute.com.
Oh and since no one likes to be made a fool and it is the day after, please ignore our own April Fool’s story if you wish. I don’t want to get fired since I don’t know anyone else that will let me write this stuff without charging me per minute.
From Aloha Workshops on the Big Island of? Hilo this is Brent Norris for the World Organization of Webmasters and the Wow Technology Minute.
