FORA.tv strives to connect smart, passionate audiences to brilliant ideas that are expressed everyday. Each week, our newsletter features a provocative and compelling Big Question, inviting discourse and debate from our community.
This week’s Big Question:
What Makes a Successful April Fools’ Joke?
Last week, we unveiled our latest feature: FORA.tv LEFT or RIGHT, in keeping with our annual tradition of April Fools’ gags. The gist: FORA.tv has always prided itself on being fiercely nonpartisan, but for a laugh, we announced that you could now customize your FORA.tv video feed to watch ‘only those videos which compliment your limited worldview.’ Last year, riding the hype around the film Avatar, FORA.tv went 3D. And in 2009, we borrowed from Twitter and introduced Fwitter: Big ideas in bite-sized morsels — videos in 140 frames or less! What’s your favorite?
Watch and share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
2011: Left or Right, or 2009: Fwitter
Our friends at BuzzFeed and TechCrunch made their own list of the best April Fools’ Pranks across the web.
Stay tuned to the FORA.tv blog for more info, and visit us on Facebook and Twitter for news and updates on the latest videos from FORA.tv.
Happy Viewing!
