Send and/or receive a message in a bottle. I sent one, but have yet to receive one back. Life on my deserted island is all about the waiting.
Ooh! Got a message.

I wonder what it means.
EDIT: I figured it out (sorta) - the first line is the original message, the second - the second response, the third - the third response. I responded and set it loose again.
This is my new favorite thing. Someone come send bottles with me.
I just noticed you can send bottles to specific people instead of just letting them free to haunt the world at large.
I sent you one but I sent it to a random person first. I don't imagine that it'll make a lot of sense to them.
This is amusing the hell out of me.
This is like postsecrets! I sent back some advice saying that pirates hold the key to all of life's mysteries. I think it will help.
I'm sending tens of random messages. I don't know why I love this so.
Random messages are fun. Talking to you on purpose is a lot of work.

I'm thinking of signing my random messages somehow so that I can recognize them if I get them again, 'cause I'm throwing out such random bullshit, I'll never remember.

QuoteHello,
The reason for the leaking bottles is slow network, it could be because of the dial up or from our end due to high overload. We are working on fixing the load issue. We have stopped the leaking bottle system and replaced it with a longer cork time. The cork will wiggle until the message is sent from the network. This will give more time for the message to arrive. Refresh you browser to get the new system. If the bottle still does not open after a while, try again at a later time when hopefully the load is less. We will have the new larger network in place in about a week.
Regards,
Oceangram

I keep getting ones in Russian. Damned if I can remember how to read Russian, so I just reply to all of them "Spasibe!" and send it on.
I probably thanked someone for telling me my mother was a hamster and my father smelt of elderberries.
Oceangram- now with tracking capabilities!
And sounds... I kinda like the wave sounds, can do without the seagulls.
Neat! But I don't have any sounds.
You have to click at the bottom of the picture, over by the lighthouse. There's a cork, and bird and a horn.
So there is! Thanks!
The foghorn is really loud.
HAH! I love the tracking thing.
My first message was discarded and nobody's responded to the second or third.
Now you can send it to specific people, or track your message to see what other people have written.
I had forgotten about this.
