Google kicked off their usual array of April Fools jokes early on Saturday just for kicks, and now everyone else has joined in. It has officially begun today and we have a round-up of some of the best ones we’ve seen yet. For the next two days we won’t believe anything we see or read, all while enjoying the pranks, gags, and rick-rolls. Check out the many that are already floating around this afternoon in our spoiler round-up.

We’ll start with Google. Well, because they’ve sort of become the king of April Fools jokes over the past few years. Google kicked off the weekend by announcing YouTube was closing, and they’ll be picking a winner for the best video ever sometime today. Then they followed that with Google Blue, Google Maps Treasure mode, cool Street View options and much more. Check em out:

You can now find Treasures with Google Maps and all of the details can be found right on their official Treasure Maps page. Then they’ve confirmed the all-new Google Blue. It’s Gmail, only blue!

Google also dropped an amazing few new things on us such as Google Nose beta letting you use your nose and scent for a better search experience. Then followed it with the option to add emoticons and true emotion to Google+.

Google also tossed in another awesome new service and announced the Google Wallet Mobile ATM. Attach it right to your Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus and instantly print cash with Google Wallet Mobile ATM. Genius!
