April Fool’s Day – talk about going viral!

April 1st, 2009

April Fool’s Day is rampant with fake news stories and hoax’s on the internet.  The one that may have gotten the largest viral spread was pulled off by Federated Media’s Founder and Chairman, John Battelle.  Twitter is hot – and it’s suitors are many.  Every day there is a new rumor about who’s in the running to buy the microblogging service.  John’s prank today about News Corp. winning the bidding war @ a whopping $750M was blazing up all the social and traditional media outlets…  hitting the likes of Yahoo, Business Week, and yes…Twitter itself.  Well done John – you were the ‘talk’ of the virtual town today…
