Video Calls (English Version)

Joke that became a reality

Yesterday our team of blog authors (or as we call it "Amazingram") decided to make a little April Fools Joke. We promoted in our channels "a start of beta testing of the video calls".

Why?

April Fools is made for joking - weird, silly, maybe a bit harsh - but this is the point of this day. So, we asked ourselves: "Are we worse than Google or Amazon?". I guess the answer is rather obvious (maybe a bit). Another question was: "What about our readers? Do not they deserve to have a little laugh on April Fools?"...

Of course you do! So we minimized our hesitation and made a little prank.

Results

It all went out much bigger than we expected. In one day we got over three thousand subscribers and over eleven thousand views on Telegraph. In addition, by the end of the day few online journals published our material questioning whenever it was a joke or not. We knew it was, but started hesitating after this: P. Durov approved the information on upcoming video calls in his twitter. He also sad that they are gong to smash Wha... any competitors with their outstanding performance.

We want to thank every our reader! We were very surprised and delighted with such a huge interest and loyalty Thanks towards our favorite messenger.
