THE THREAD could be a great source of inspiration, but would spoil the joke for all the threadizens...
(13)
As long as no one goes off and starts an SSC thread or posts a QotD should be OK.
So, any suggestions? I'd rather stay away from data recoverability, DR as that's not a joking subject. (11)

Some exotic new feature in Denali?

Could be something on System Center/Atlanta. Nobody knows it, it would be quite easy to put together an April fools. You could say it also monitors Access databases or some other kind of BS.

Joking about upcoming products is a bit of a risky area. Lots of people know that MVPs have early access, inside information, etc. Just my luck I joke about something that MS is planning, someone takes it seriously and next thing I know I have Global Administration on the phone demanding explanations.

Would be fun, but ...

Maybe an article on why it is not necessary to maintain indexes. Who needs them right?

(but maybe again, someone picks this up not realizing it is a joke)

Maybe a blog post that Microsoft has purchased MySQL from Oracle and that it is integrating it with SQLServer.

Great idea! :w00t:

I think I'll schedule a tweet on that 🙂

Maybe we can also crash stock markets with that fake blog post 😀

Or that Microsoft has traded MS Access for MySQL. Because who needs Access right? 🙂

Ok, time to hit that Support Doc. The quicker i get started, the quicker I can get more boring crap thrown my way.

Between a blog post and the chapter for the book project I should be able to stop from going insane (more).

If every threadizen blogged about it, more people would be fooled.

Who's on?
