April Fools!

well, sad but not shocking. It will take a lot of “restructuring” for the members who continue onto the paid service
April’s fool ….!!!
A good one….
Yea, must be a joke. Visit http://www.TheMediaZoo.com
WOW!!!!
You had me going there for a second! I just launched a Webinar YESTERDAY about using LinkedIn and Facebook to market your business (http://www.SocialMediaMoney.com), and this would have really had an impact on my presentation.
Good job Scott for giving me a panic attack first thing this morning!
I took it hook, line, and sinker. Nice job!
All right, April’s Fool is still in vogue
Scott
Are you serious, did you really post this as an Aprils Fool joke? Your site claims “Linked Intelligence is the smart source for all things LinkedIn™ – tips, strategies, news and more. Linked Intelligence is an independent publication but maintains a working relationship with LinkedIn Corporation.”
Why would you risk that for a temporary laugh?
Padraigh – absolutely, it’s an April Fool’s joke. People take this stuff much too seriously — it’s good to have a laugh about things every once in a while. And like all good satire, it was just almost believable. The last two paragraphs should have been a dead giveaway though.
And I don’t know about all the folks at LinkedIn, but at least one person at LinkedIn got a chuckle out of it. That third comment above is a pingback from Adam Nash, Sr. Director of Product & Engineering at LinkedIn, who on his blog called this the “funniest April Fools Day joke so far.”
April Fool’s seems to really be in this year, too. Surprisingly, even public companies are getting in on the action. I love a good April Fool’s joke, but even so, I have to wonder about the consequences of it for a public company. Check this out:
Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes
And anyway, aren’t all laughs temporary?
April Fool’s? That’s funny — ha-ha . . . and I just bought LinkedIn stock for twice the listing price knowing that it would continue to increase.
Bought LinkedIn stock? Now THAT’S funny. Umm… what exchange?
