Which is your favorite? I think the Improv Everywhere one was quite nicely done. They even managed to fool a News Network. Swiss Tourism Board’s April Fools joke was also quite nicely done. And I won’t mind if Opera really implements those features.
Updates: Some newly added April fools pranks. (Keep them coming in)
HiFive Group: have partnered with Sony and Hershey Foods on a technological breakthrough that injects music files into nougat. Sounds tasty! (And a lot more on their twitter.)

I actually fell for the gmail prank for a minute!
We posted fake news stories about our business all day on our twitter account. We’re a sales/marketing/social media consultancy within the entertainment industry. A few chuckles ensued.

These were awesome, I need to find time to get through all of them. I liked the Kodak one a lot, personally.
I work for Flying Dog Brewery and we launched a fake series of beers yesterday. check out our various blogs and twitter stream for the excitement.

Email Winston at winston@DrinkBetterBeer.net to find out where our beers are near you. Tell him Josh says hey.
The Panda joke got me shuddering in disbelief and hilarious laughter! Really cannot take the article… but quite funny.
The Youtube was quite LOL. But the funniest is gBall. Damn cool leh, can kick the ball around the world, still can track via GPS
