What are your thoughts on the pranks Livejournal and Youtube played on the masses this Poisson d'Avril? Do you respect them more or less because of it?

Also, what is your favorite url shortening service?

I didn't go to YouTube or LiveJournal that day, so I didn't get to see it. What happened?

Oh, and I don't use URL shorteners unless I really have to.

Lol way to French, Frenchie. :P

Um... I dunno, I generally hate practical jokes or All Fool's Day in general, so using the internet to massively multiplayer online ridicule people is...meh. While I don't condone these activities,
I don't think any less of others for indulging...we are only human, after all.

I don't really get pranked. In regards to getting sent YouTub links, I tend to get "hey Tom, look at this Star Trek clip" that my now-Trek obsessed friend sends me. By and large I'll also be careful about clicking links that certain people send me from 4chan. Some people I know will send me funny stuff (I don't browse 4chan myself) and I'll click their links, but if someone's sent me something disgusting in the past, I'll be more apprehensive in future.

I don't think I've ever used a URL shortening service, actually.

YouTube using that prank was somewhat effective. Livejournal just made everyone bitter because of their recent banning of new basic (free, without advertising) accounts.

I like to think of it as fighting the Russian Overlords xD
