How Many Aprils Fools Posts Did You Spot?

Matt Cutts

I just spotted the following post on OneTipADay which claims allows you to download music, movies etc from iTunes for free, which was my favourite Aprils Fools joke as I actually fell for it.

Which ones did you spot? Some were pretty obvious like gHack’s and TechCrunch’s, but John Chow’s took me about 30 seconds to spot.

Another favourite was the hacking of Google blogger Matt Cutt’s site by the Dark SEO Team.

    This year I’ve found that 1 April is a day when you can take a little vacation because a lot of websites spread fake news, and I don’t like to read fake news.
