We Are Not For Sale! :)
ok, just stop it guys… stop sending us congo messages… ! We have been going crazy reading your comments, Tweets, messages, IMs, sms right from 1st of April evening!
Frankly we were almost taken by surprise when we realised that almost none of you figured it out this was an April fools day hoax. TechCrunch Acquires TechDusts- Now It Will Be TechCrunch India ? on 1st April? ha…ha…ha…ha…ha! omg…
Believe me there was not even a single guy who confidently said this is an April fools day joke. Only Poorush Jain of SportsKeeda, Subodh Kumar, Kothapally Arun Kumar Reddy and Sheru were guessing it initially that this might be April fool’s day joke. Some of you might have guessed it but no one commented about this so we are giving full marks to Team TechDusts for pulling this April Fool’s day thing so successfully! We never thought that you will take some thing so seriously on the eve of 1st of April the Fool’s day!
ok, now letz share few of the best comments, IMs, SMS, buzz etc we received around the web (and for privacy sake we will keep the name anonymous)
