Even the BBC was kicking up its skirts as the normally serious Radio 4 Today programme introduced the concept of 3D radio.

The Guardian, which has some form in this area, claims it will be live blogging the build up to the Royal Wedding from now on and inlcudes a report from Sky News that the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, has been granted the front three rows of seating in Westminster Abbey on April 29 as a result of a deal brokered by Prince Andrew. The paper is actually running a live blog of more April Fools as they appear.

Teen sensation Justin Bieber features widely, not least in the film buff site Den of Geek which has him down to play Sylvester Stallone's son in The Expendables 2.

Those on social networking site LinkedIn might notice that they're being suggested to connect with Robin Hood,  who's described as a "Activist/ Chief Fundraiser at Nottingham".
