On April 1st '07 Gmail team embarks on a great trick.
Whats the trick?
You'll get all that you have in Gmail on printed paper!
and what more?
Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip.
Delivery free to your doorstep within 2-3 days! (most of the free shipping things arrive in 7-9 days :)
And here is the bonanza for those wanting to utilize this offer to the (no) limit:
Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.
It couldn't get any better than this :)
I was a bait for a few moments , especially when Google says about free postage:
"The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium."
And the testimonials are too good!

“I've always felt uneasy about the whole internet thing. With the help of Gmail Paper, now I'm taking matters back into my own hands, literally.”

I wish google had put in a lil bit more effort in creating a fake webpage of this fake company and the CEO, which would make their april fools day campaign more effective :P
I am sure that the soya bean sputum idea must have been inspired by some wanna be Calvin (& Hobbes)
Happy fooling!
Happy April Fools Day!!!
PS: Gmail was announced on 1st April 2004, which many didn't believe it to be true, including the several techie websites!
I wish this too like GMAIL, was a reality.
