April Fools Google Style

The 1st April always throws up some interesting news stories or are they, this is the problem with April Fool’s Day, and it’s one of those occasions when almost any announcement or breaking news story is treated with suspicion, no matter how true it may be.

There are some carefully prepared pieces that get people thinking such as this one about the Gmail Autopilot. As the title suggests this a new service that does all of the work for you, you will no longer have to answer all emails.

However, is this a carefully prepared fools day practical joke or are Google really going to help the Gmail user, by offering to answer emails on their behalf.

It is a tricky one because it plays on both sides of the Google opinion, but we think it is a fool!
