It's on the website of a journalist in RL. I suspect it's OOC - ie: he's making a joke about bad crowds. But that none of the people in the picture are IG characters.
You basically need a VOX, Livejournal and AIM. There's been quite a bit of pre-game activity on Livejournal and AIM. Go to the wiki to get filled in on the basics. For the rest skim over the past posts on here.

While I'm not totally convinced the new photo album belongs to one of the 8tsoc (it sounds like Pachinko stumbled across it), I think that it's definitely IG. Otherwise, half of 8tsoc wouldn't be fretting over whether or not it was Nico in that picture, after it was posted by Pachinko.

Robert A. Heinlein? Does that make sense? It might help if I read science fiction.

ok, this photobucket album in question - do we know if this the album of an ingame character? many photos seem possibly related to oil, but the profile name "Iniscool" - how does it connect to the people we know?
I want to add it to the wiki, but only if it's significant to what we know or where we're going here...
Yeah. I'm fairly certain it's significant. My theory (loosely collaborated by dessum5 on the lj community) is that it's Nico's pictures. That he took the picture of himself, even (which would explain where his hands are) and might give some insight into where he was traveling to. We haven't decoded it all yet, but I think it's highly significant.

Since it has a picture of Nico, i'd say it's highly likely.

I wonder if asking us to pick science fiction author alter-egos is symbolic - that we'll need to use speculative ideas/fictions in order to mitigate Peak Oil. Traditional ideas won't work... science fiction might. Etc.

Apparently I'm David Brin, who rather disturbingly looks a lot like my dad, same dress sense the whole 9 yards, go figure
