I believe it was last year that they claimed to have started a mail delivery service where they would print out your emails and then deliver them to you by snail mail-ha! This year, they have announced a new email service, “Custom Time”. I know it’s a joke, but it’s darn funny.

The idea behind “Custom Time” is that you can change the time on any email you send. Missed Grandma’s birthday? Roll back the time on the email so she thinks it arrived on time! It works by using an “e-flux capacitor”, obviously allowing for the Marty McFly principle to take effect-LMAO! And the best part? You only get to change the time on ten emails, because:

Our researchers have concluded that allowing each person more than ten pre-dated emails per year would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless.”

Bwahahahaha!! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go over to the IZEA blog and read all about how “Sun microsystems wants to buy Social Spark”. April Fool’s Day is much more fun online, isn’t it?

Google just really loves us bloggers, don’t they? First they took away our Page Rank, now they have announced that the loading time of a website will directly affect it’s search rankings, the price charged for Adsense ads, and even the Page Rank.

I’m not going to pander to Google, but it’s never a bad idea to check to see how long it takes your website to load. WebSiteOptimization.com has a Web Page Analyzer you can use, just type in your URL and in a few minutes you’ll get a report back of how long it takes your page to load at different connnection speeds. I ran my blog Table for Five and found that most of what was on my sidebars (badges, buttons, etc.) was really slowing down the load time for people using slower connections. So I moved those to their own pages and that seemed to help. Just thought everyone would like to know
