Happy April Fool's Day!

When I checked my LinkedIn-account this morning, the "People You May Know"-tool recommended me contacts, like Robin Hood - Activist/ Chief Fundraiser at Nottingham, United Kingdom - and Sherlock Holmes - Detective at 221B Baker Street. Yes, that's right! It's April Fools 2011! Have you found an April Fools joke or prank yet?

If you've been on YouTube today, then yes! YouTube has kicked off the April Fools festivities with a celebration of its “100th birthday” — a journey into what YouTube might have looked like in 1911, if the video platform or the Internet existed back then. Check out the "Top 5 viral pictures of 1911":


YouTube has also updated the logo and inserted a classic 1911 button on every video. If you click on it, it will transform any YouTube clip into an old-school motion picture, complete with a grainy yellowish skin and an accompanying early 20th century piano soundtrack to match.

Oh, and I like the Starbucks prank! This would be really cool actually:
Starbucks is finally putting its baristas on scooters, as the coffee giant today launches its “Mobile Pour” feature. “We’ve even made ordering easy with our Mobile Pour app for your smartphone. Simply download it, allow it to pinpoint your location, select your coffee order and keep walking. Your fresh, hot Starbucks brew will be in your hands before you can say abra-arabica.”
