After April Fools’ Day
Rickrolling on April Fools' Day
Updated in 2025/11/09: replace embedded tweet with a copy on my tweetback instance.
Yesterday, I announced my latest research topic on Twitter and Facebook: Software Patterns of User Experience for World of Warcraft (SPUXWoW).

However, instead of pointing to the actual research page, the link pointed to RickRoll’D on YouTube. As of today, there are a total of 87 people who got rickroll’d by me. Thanks everyone for participating. Couldn’t have done it without you guys. :p
(Seriously, I am sorry for my immature prank. I will do my best to come up with something more sophisticated next year.)
