[MEH] Blog the ARG http://josh-182.blogspot.com/
I've heard that this is the start of a new ARG based around blogs.

Josh Oakley I've looked more into this. It is an ARG.

I'm not doubting whether it is or isn't, as its probably too early to tell, but how can you tell its the beginning of an ARG and not just a regular old blog?

Okay, leaving aside however you found this, in 13 minutes from when you posted it you managed to determine from this single blog with a solitary, uninformative post and no links out or other information or even any kind of mystery, that it's definitely an ARG. Congraturation.
Colo(u)r me a bit suspicious, however. If you, scapegoat, are behind this, you need to re-read the rules for PMs and Terms of Service of these forums and discontinue posting about this.
If you are not involved with it behind the scenes, please feel free to elucidate about how you arrived at your above conclusion.

Why?
All I see is a blog with one very short entry, that has nothing ARGish about it.
And where did you hear about this?

You've chosen a very appropriate user name, FWIW.

In any case, it doesn't seem to be much of a trailhead -- there's nothing to do, nowhere to go with it.
No links, no puzzles to solve, nothing. Just a very short, uninformative blog entry with typos.
This wouldn't be one of those all-too-familiar cases where your "friend" launched his "ARG" before he'd thought it all the way through, would it?
