April fools starting early at MSN?

by on March 30, 2006

Is April Fools starting a day early over on MSN? Check out this fun search for my name. Of course Chris Pirillo has been hit too. Chris, I didn't realize you'd been bitten by a radioactive shrew! Oh, Dave Winer, look what your searches say!

Update: I got some emails asking how to do this for other people. Oh, if you clicked through any of those search results you would have seen that you can do the same thing for your friends. Thanks to Sean Carver who did this and have a good April Fools!

  • Thanks for the links Mr.Scoble. I'm trying out the Spoof thing and it's really neat. Kudos to MSN :D.

    And you should really search Technorati for your Name.

    I get a "Buy Robert Scoble @ Amazon". LOL!

    But seriously I love this... LOL!
  • The guys at the office must be yucking it up. Happy April fools.
  • Excellent spoof - well worth configuring for as many people as possible before Saturday.
  • Marzo
    Play the "needs" game. Type in your first name followed by the word "needs". Worked pretty well at google, but msn too.
  • Mag
    excellent spoof!
  • "Robert Scoble admitted to mental ward after DSL line goes out"

    :)

    If MSN really did spoof the SERPS there would be millions of screaming SEO's out here!
  • Hey Robert,

    When the time comes, be sure to put this in your review.. :) After all, Microsoft is *already* recoginizing your effort. Even the search engine shows it!
  • Minh
    March has 31 days, but I get what you're saying :)
  • Minh, It'll be 1st in Australia in another 2 hours as of posting.
  • Wow - MSN shows some personality.

    Good fun, very smart spoof.
  • There was a fantastic early April Fools joke here at Intel this morning. I can't reveal the details of it, because it's still in progress, but I can say that A)it got me, and B)I never expected something so clever and irreverent from Intel. Can't wait until I can blog about this! :-)
  • Christopher Coulter
    Funny and quite clever. ;) Nice one.

    (Tho with the usual MSN results, it's half April Fools, year round.)
  • Nice early April's Fool. BTW, you've been spoofed link returns:

    HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
    Internet Information Services (IIS)
  • met
    Windows Live Mail Desktop ? I thought MSofties had started thinking about branding...

  • Just did it, it's an awesome concept. Well done Microsoft - perfect viral marketing!
  • This was hillarious last year when it started.
