It’s a heated battle already in the annual quest for the most outrageous prank. All the usual suspects are involved.

If you’re trying to keep up with the day’s events, here’s a quick recap: Google’s Infinity+1 storage plan over at Gmail, complete with napkin sketches; BoringBoring; more banner ads for an annual fee at Homestar Runner (including a great trial game); Google’s move into the soft drink area with Google Gulp; and an amazing discovery by NASA.

Apparently Microsoft’s even getting into the act with a mouse that hovers, or flies, or something.

News as it develops today: Urgo’s list of April Fool’s Jokes on Websites.

Perhaps the best find so far is Google’s “freedom” to express themselves on the Google Gulp FAQs. “I mean, isn’t this whole invite-only thing kind of bogus? Dude, it’s like you’ve never even heard of viral marketing.”
