You should mention that you created it. |
And here's the Google UK April Fool:
Google Gulp: http://www.google.com/googlegulp/
"At Google our mission is to organize the world's information and make it useful and accessible to our users. But any piece of information's usefulness derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user who's using it. That's why we're pleased to announce Google Gulp (BETA) with Auto-Drink (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of "smart drinks" designed to maximize your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty." |
...and it seems to point fun at the Google "AutoLink" feature:

2. Wait you're saying Auto-Drink changes my brain chemistry?
Um, yeah but for the better.
...
4. What if I don't want to use Auto-Drink?
No problem simply turn off Auto-Drink on your Google Gulp preferences page.
5. Well, shouldn't Auto-Drink be default-off?
You mean we should cripple a perfectly useful feature just because of a little bad PR?

could be a april fool, but remember that gmail was announced on April 1st last year too.
and google ARE selling stuff at googlestore.com
|
Certainly Auto-Drink would be fake. |
