April Fool’s
In 2002, Google brought us PigeonRank.
Today, Ask brings us RhymeRank. Check out the results for Crooked Timber (right-hand side of the screen) or try the service on your favorite search term. [UPDATE 4/2: As of April 2nd these results are no longer available.]
Yahoo! went a bit too geeky on this judging from reactions to my various past posts by making their April Fool’s all about Web 2.0 and calling it “All Your Web 2.0 Are Belong To Us”. After all, if you don’t know what Web 2.0 is then you’re certainly not going to find that post amusing. In any case, it’s just a blog post on their Search Blog, it’s not as though they introduced a whole new service.
What other April Fool’s have you come across today? No, they do not have to be search related.

Wow, further evidence that Yahoo! is lame except for Flickr. Then again, I don’t know what Web 2.0 is either.

Yahoo! also bought del.icio.us, which is very cool. Plus I really like Yahoo! LaunchCast.
