Image from Wikimedia Commons Have you always wanted a way to make connections online? Do Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr just not do it for you? (Forget MySpace, it's totally over.) Are you more the olfactory type? At long last, Smellr (still in beta) comes to the rescue. This "social network for your nose" allows you to express yourself through your scent and find a "friendspace for your fragrance." Whether you prefer Focus, Humility, Tranquility, or something no one's ever smelled before, Smellr will help you find folks who smell just like you, and maybe even discover some new scents in the process. Join now before MySpace introduces MySmell, sure to be an inferior competitor.
Bostonist encourages readers to tag their favorite scents "Bostonist" on Smellr so we can enhance our virtual aroma. We are also partnering with Smellr to help folks better enjoy the unusual smells of the T online. From the Aquarium's dolphin pee to Ruggles' gunpower, you'll never again have to be far from your favorite MBTA aromas. Don't thank us, thank Smellr.
After all, the future is Smellr... like Flickr, but for your nose.
For the record, Bostonist didn't write any of these April Fools posts...
-- Cash-strapped Harvard to auction off Allston lands
-- MBTA pursues "win lottery" method of debt reduction.
-- Normandy Real Estate Partners to tear down their newly-purchased Hancock Tower for a roller skating rink.
-- Curt Schilling unretires and joins Yankees
-- Schilling is on the secret list of players that tested positive for steroids
-- Paul Rudd & Jason Segel to get married in Mass to promote "I Love You, Man"
-- Deval Patrick steps down, says he just wants to "hang out"
But they should have. Schilling unretiring and Paul Rudd & Jason Segel getting married both make me laugh.
