April fools happens regularly once every year - yes. My point was that every year Google puts predictably up some new product with a couple of videos and a big banner saying "APRIL FOOLS" at the end.

It's not like they're trying very hard. (Though I did laugh a few years ago when youtube linked all of it's featured videos to RickRolls - that's a much better April Fool's Day joke - the essence is on 'unexpected'.
