UBER India
This is the email i received on 1st April.
Get ready to ride in style India! Tomorrow, for one day only, we've added supercars to the Uber platform. On Wednesday, between 2PM-4PM, you will be able to request Lamborghinis and Ferraris to come to you and they're yours to take for a spin around the block.
How it works:
• Download the Uber app for iPhone or Android
• Move the slider over to “UberSUPERCAR” to request, pressing “Set Pickup Location”
• If a car is available, it will come directly to you – you can take it for a spin and take selfies to show-off later
Uber just launched #UberSUPERCAR, where a Ferrari or a Lamborghini will pick you up for a small ride in your locality for FREE! Just open the app tomorrow between 2:00-4:00 PM.
You can even use the code “UBERFORAFRIEND” while signing up to get Rs. 600 off your next ride! Grin emoticon

Ixigo
Travel search engine Ixigo launched a much-needed app for finding public toilets in one's vicinity. Titled 'Loo Finder', the company released a hilarious video featuring a man in desperately wanting to relieve himself and wandering aimlessly looking for a toilet.
The company's fake app gave users options like Indian toilet, Western toilet, hole in the ground and Government Wall and augmented reality to find nearest public toilets.
