We got a lot of email on Friday like the following:

· "hola - just a note to say something's weird with gawker this morning - the site links to "today's" NYT for a thing on Fear Factor Live and a piece on Barry Diller buying Ask Jeeves, both of which ran a while ago - maybe my computer is somehow channeling the past but if not ... fyi."

· You 4/01 PRG coverage is two weeks old. They had a different stupid Hamptons party last night.

· Your entire site seems to have flashed back to a week ago.

·Cynthia Nixon is already a lesbian. it's already Public knowledge and she is dating A woman named Christine.

·The Power Girls, Barry Diller, Corcoran, and Gap are all posts from a week ago or more. I am very confused. Has Gawker bought said time machine?

· Have you noticed that something is going on with the site? Old items as posting as new — the Ask Jeeves, Corcoran and Bernaud Weinraub stories are all old.

· Did you notice her post date is Sept. 17, 2003? WTF?

· ummm, i don't understand the point of you posting anything about that guardian electroclash article. did you not read the date at the byline? it was written over two years ago. (making them, sure, a bit behind the times, but it's not like they wrote it this week.)

· Is your Electroclash Guardian entry a joke? Did you see the date on the
article? Or: oops?

· I don't know if you guys noticed, but the date of the Guardian electroclash story was January 2003. Give the brits a break!!


Thanks for all the concern about our server or the functionality of our brains. We checked our handy wall calendars and Friday appears to have been April 1st, also known as April Fool's Day.

Thanks, especially to all our esteemed, astute readers in the journalism community: you made us laugh the most!
