Google’s April Fools Joke!
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
I suspect highly that this is a joke by Google or else someone there is on some good crack…

Google is allowing you to BACK date your e-mails and send e-mails to the past (but of course only until April1, 2004 - launch date). This is such a weird April Fool’s joke, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…
How do I use it?
Just click “Set custom time” from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient’s inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.
Here is another one…

Ever wish you could go back in time and send that crucial email that could have changed everything — if only it hadn’t slipped your mind? Gmail can now help you with those missed deadlines, missed birthdays and missed opportunities. |
Ahhh Google and their sense of humor - keeping it real and great culture.
All you entrepreneurs and CEOs can learn something from them!
