    Today web 2.0 breaks down (rant)

    [rant]
    Today is the one day of the year (april's fool) where social web apps / web 2.0 news sites (and forums) are garbage.

    When reading forums / digg, all I come across are these sad atempts for april fool's jokes. Most of them aren't even funny. "Google buys Microsoft for $1, Russel Peters dies, blah blah blah".

    Comm'on people! At least be creative or try harder than posting a fake news story. I guess web 2.0 really does reflect the masses and what does it say about them today? Well...you know.

    Web 2.0 is bollocks. There's no Web 1 or Web 1.5 or anything. The Web is a continuously improving network that never stops. The idea of a version two of the Web makes me laugh.

    [/rant]

    However, you're right, we need some April fools jokes on a bigger scale. Like, aliens landing in the White House or something.

    Web is always 1.0, but 2.0 is the vision of the perfection. Think of it as the horisont

    I just convinced my mom and brother I got my girlfriend pregnant, and my dad that my dog had died.

    I'm working overtime. What have you done so far?

    My fiance found "secret love letters" in my drawer to a woman called "Jane". I went out, asked her to pick out clothes for me for when we go out in the evening, and she "came across" the letters.

    And now I aint going back home till the evening I dont believe in that crap where April Fools ends at 12PM, so mine's gonna run into the night

    I can imagine that: "hey, so you have your secret love, well, i have something to confess: remember John and Mike, well, I've been dating both of them. I was just looking for a good excuse to leave you, and now I've found it. So, good night and good luck with Jane."

    Agreed. That would be silly.
