April Fool!

DateWednesday, April 1, 2009 at 2:02PM

After a discussion with @davidcushman, I decided to slightly modify today's Scroobl to pay homage to one of the greatest April fools/PR stunts ever!

Slide share sent a message to its member base (I have not received it yet and my ego needs stroking!) saying something about 'Your slide has been added to the Best of Slideshare. Of course stroking a blogger's ego creates major buzz and true as bob, #bestofslideshare for a while was number 1 on Twitscoop, bigger than the G20 protest violence!!! Seems wrong somehow! http://www.twitscoop.com/scoops/search?q=bestofslideshare

I got the email & just ignored it. Then I saw it top trending on Twitter (so I spose it worked) Now the slideshare guys have apologised for the April Fool

I agree it seems a bit lame but amazed that so many people tagged it - interesting what flattery does ;-)

Hey Annie, they apologised but I'm sure they loved all the exposure! Great PR stunt!
