Guys..

Could we please use this thread to consolidate all the discussion and speculation about the "Lost" interactive games so that the "No spoilers" thread does not get bloated with a million posts about the Hansorg website and toll free number?

As much as I'd love to play this game, I simply cannot dedicate anymore time trying to see what everyone else has figured and how it ties in with the show. I am sure I am not the only one here, and it'd be confusing if all the discussion regarding the game gets posted in the main thread, whereby people not playing the game will have a hard time keeping up with a million conjectures and clues regarding the game.

I'd appreciate if at least some people co-operate and separate the discussion about the side-game from that of the main show.

Muchas gracias !!

Just called the 1-877-HANSORG number. Picked option 1 for General information about the Hanson project. It was all in French, I believe.

All the voice mail information off that number has been posted in mp3 format at http://www.thelostexperience.com/

The non English stuff is translated here:

Quite interesting too. There is literally no other TV phenomenon to compare this to. There have been numerous landmark shows over the last few decades -- All in the Family, MASH, Cheers and Seinfeld, X-Files. What LOST is doing is ground-breaking and will leave a huge mark on international pop culture. It is cool to be a part of it from the beginning. Feels like it must have when the first War of the Worlds was broadcast, minus the fear of course.

Yes! Please keep the website stuff out of the no-spoilers thread.

When I listed to the recording under "more information" or "general information" someone named Persephone eventually broke through and told me not to listed to the their lies and said to use password . . .

it sound like she said "breaking strains."

I know where on the website I'm supposed to enter the password, but I didn't catch exactly what she said. When I tried calling again, she didn't break into the recording. Hmm?

Page 4 of today's Boston Globe has a 1/4 page ad from Hugh McIntyre of The Hanso Foundation disclaiming the novel "Bad Twin" and referring readers to their web site for more info on their 30 years of service.

Oh man, that's great! Talk about gorilla marketing - ABC really is blazing all kinds of new trails with this show isn't it?

Have you got a picture of that? I went to the Globe's website and, uh, it won't let you search for ads.

If "Snakes on a Plane" has a decent box office, you'll see a lot more of this kind of marketing in the future.

Not to sound like Smart Alec, but it's supposed to be "guerilla marketing" or "viral marketing"..

Yeah, thought that might be the case. I got the two spellings in spell-check, but was too lazy to look up the definitions to get the proper one.

Looks like a bunch more game sites popping up:

Is this the best place to follow along, or is there somewhere else?
