If you haven’t seen the press release, it’s posted here.
And yeah, it’s a joke. Gee, I’ll bet I had you fooled too. While we really, really are releasing a brilliant new UI for Fuse we thought that doing that on April 1 would be silly so I opted for a fake release.
Originally, it was just internal but then I saw some of the responses I was getting and decided to up the ante a bit and send it out to a few friends. Now it seems to be spreading and the comments are pretty funny too.
Here’s some of my favorites:
"Congratulations, I’ll fool around with it later."
- From a customer who probably didn’t actually read the press release. I suspect that’s how a lot of press releases are read.
"ooh saw it.. we actually gonna use the concept for the launch?"
- From a marketing intern who actually thinks this is a good idea. Funny, though, last night I actually thought about integrating a simple 3d game engine with the Fuse API to send Emails everytime you pressed ‘attack’. The Fuse API is that flexible, but I also realized the horror I might unleash on the internet if this got out of hand.
"you guys are too funny man…"
- Via IM from a former co-worker… I thought that was it and then…
"wait..is the interface really changed?"
SCORE!
"That is simply Brilliant and hilarious – Great job! I think you have a bit too much time on your hands… J You are a creative guy!!! "
- Awe shucks.. how could I leave this one out? To be fair, it was from a family member but you take your points where you can get them. Be sure to check out our REAL product blog (which really is kicking off today) at http://blog.L2Soft.com/product.
