live.com Hrm. Live.com was MS live search, and now sends you to bing.com. MS has done ARGs and virals before though. Binging (well, it's not googling) "nothing's here", "nothingshere" and "nothings here" on bing (er, live?) doesn't seem to turn up anything strange. Just a thought.

if you go to nothingshere.net, you get to a not found page, with
Well, nothing’s here. What did you expect?
and three links

But, new email:

I don't think it's Microsoft. Anyone can get a live.com e-mail at hotmail.com. I chose live.com over hotmail.com because it seems to be less common.

I'm beginning to suspect this is involved with an already started ARG, Project 912, as I was IM'ed by a character from it just now. Could be just coincidence, though, but if I don't get any "other" contact soon, I'll know this belongs over on the 912 thread.

Lol yeah, sorry about this thread guys, but it was an unknown-to-me email address, so I figured it was new. Oh well, I don't know what mods do with threads like this, but they can do whatever it is they do to this one now

Well, looks like I was wrong. I got 2 emails this morning, 1 saying (in english) "The contact has been delayed", the other said :

The contact is here.
nothinginthesea.co.cc
WSAD
The title of the page is "There's Nothing in the Sea", and I didn't get a chance to let the whole pageload, (I could tell it was gonna take forever on dial-up), but the audio is www.nothinginthesea.co.cc/audio.mp3, and I believe it was also loading some Google Earth Plugin.

Interestingly enough, if you wait a a moment or two, a different screen comes up.

It's hieroglyphics, and it decodes to "Enter the triangle".
