April 1st, 2004
Google
says “Gmail” is no joke, but lunar jobs are.
Google’s unconventional March 31 press release announcing Gmail helped
set Internet message boards alight because the sub-heading read: “Search
is Number Two Online Activity – Email is Number One: ‘Heck, Yeah,’ Say
Google Founders.”“It is April Fool’s Day. We were having fun with this announcement. We
are very serious about Gmail,” Rosenberg said in an interview.
