We’ve Been Fooled
April 2, 2007
The anonymous author of the blog Don’t Tell the Donor promised to reveal his or her identity in a posting on Sunday.
The promise, which came in response to a recent online debate about the credibility of anonymous bloggers, drew quite a bit of attention last week in the nonprofit world.
It turns out, however, that the unveiling was an April Fool’s hoax.
“Happy April Fools Day folks,” writes the “fund raiser” who created Don’t Tell the Donor. “Sorry for getting your hopes up. Maybe ‘a fund raiser’ will reveal his/her identity next year.”
