Hey, remember that one time when this feature was Gmail's April Fools Day joke[1]? Kind of funny how it's now a serious and actually useful-looking product.

Gmail itself was a sort of a serious April Fools joke. It was launched on April 1st, 2004 and because it offered 1GB of free storage when other providers were offering ~5MB, a lot of people assumed it was a hoax.

Wasn't the "Unsend" feature an April Fools joke as well? Man...I hit that Undo button at least several times/day.

Another Google April Fools Day joke, some years ago, was Google Paper, or some such name. IIRC it was funny.

Well, they kind of made that one for real too, didn't they? http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/index.html

Great Scott, that site looks like it’s from 1985! https://www.google.com/cloudprint/gadget.html?user=0
