Just for the record, SimplePie and MagpieRSS are not actually merging. Geoffrey and I came up with the idea for the April Fool’s joke on Friday, and I got in touch with Kellan (from the MagpieRSS project). He said he was cool with the joke, but unfortunately wouldn’t have time to update the MagpieRSS site with a similar notice.

There were a few blog posts from around the web that we saw, as well as a new digg! No, NeoPie doesn’t actually exist, and no our teams are not merging. We just thought it’d be a funny prank. 🙂

Thanks to Kellan for being cool about the joke and playing along.
