A warm round of applause for friend and digital impresario, Paul Walsh. The chair of the British Interactive Media Association alerted internet techies yesterday to the news that he'd sold his web certification company Segala. He broke the news on his Facebook update at 12.30am. During the morning, plaudits flooded in on Twitter and Facebook from envious entrepreneurs and well wishers. As I'm sure everyone now realises, it was all Irish blarney and an April Fool. Talking to Tech Crunch, Walsh said: "I did it as a laugh, I wanted to see what the power of my status update was. How influential it was." Consider the age we live in where even an April Fool's Day prank has a digital application. The moral of the story? Don't trust everything you read on the internet and web techies are a gullible lot.
