Google has “dropped the mic” on its April Fools’ Day Gmail joke after angering many of its email service users.

Google added an extra “send” button, which allowed Gmail'ers to instantaneously end an email conversation; hence term “dropping the mic”—but the catch? It ends the conversation (though, it was reported that you can still view the incoming replies in the “All Mail” folder, just not in the conversation thread).
