Those guys at Whirlpool have a funny sense of humour, posting a “we’ve been acquired by NineMSN” entry at 6:00am this morning. Complete with a mockup of a new site design, these guys really went to town on the authenticity of this April fools day prank.
The Whirlpool community is strongly supportive of an open unbiased forum for communication. Should a deal like the ever actually be done, I think we’d see a mass exodus of the Whirpool faithful.
Update
Wow, they’re really going hard with this one, they’ve now added a NineMSN links bar to the top of the site. (home page only).
