Looks like Darren Rowse got the ball rolling with this one as soon as the clock struck twelve in Australia.
Problogger Launches PayPerTweet
He’s already got loads of comments, ranging from the incredulous, to the dismissive, through to a number of people who’re disgusted that he would dare offer a service like this on their beloved Twitter, and quite a few who spotted the joke and called him on it straight away.
Just waiting to see what Shoemoney has lined up for this year.

I made one for 2 of my airsoft blogs that “airsoft has been banned totally in UK and Europe”. They have been written about in a few airsoft forums.

It’s not in the make money online niche, but I put up an April Fools post in the other MMO niche (Massively Multiplayer Online games).

So far my two faves are from Tim Ferriss and Blog Commentator because they are right on the borderline of believable:

Prime Furniture Source, a retailer of modern furniture, has gone completely green.

Here is an excerpt from their press release:

“Miami, April 1, 2008 — Like most of you, we at Prime Furniture Source have been hearing a lot about this new “going green” phenomenon. At first we didn’t know what to make of it, but if it’s good enough for Al Gore, then who are we to argue?”
