Who’s laughing?

It turns out that Gmail’s not a joke. Google says they had fun with the announcement, but the service is real.

Google announced a new 1 gig webmail system today. The story was picked up by various outlets like the NY Times, but given the date and tone of the press release and Google’s April 1st history, we can probably assume this is a hoax. It’ll be interesting to see how many other outlets pick up the story before the egg hits the face.

Update: Paidcontent.org rec’d my email and is starting to question it too.
