Google celebrates April’s Fools Day, 2011

Yesterday I shared how Linkedin celebrated April 1st with their audiences. It was quite funny and some of you loved it on Facebook. I was quite surprised why Google didn’t even change their logo, I was really hoping they do something great. And they did. I hate to spoil it for you, so before scrolling down go here to find out all about Gmail Motion. Then continue reading…

I though, holy smokes, Google innovates again and decided to check it out.

“What a nice landing page”, I thought, (and it actually gets better when you scroll down the Gmail Motion page) so I decided to spread the word and share with my Twitter friends.

I didn’t check the “Try Gmail Motion” button before tweeting it. Fortunately for me, it was actually a late night tweet so not a lot of people saw it. Then, today I had some time and decided to give it a try and click that Demo button…

A lightbox came up and something started loading. I prepared for my laptop camera to turn on. Here’s what I saw:

I was anticipating the next best thing – doing physical exercises while checking your email (cause that’s what Gmail Motion is supposed to be). And when the whole thing loaded… I smiled :)

And in my yesterday’s post I was saying “why didn’t Google do anything today”. What have you seen today that made you smile?
