Heh. Nah It probably wasn't that significant, I think they just set to it to be a different F key per borough of new york. Although F12 was used twice, and the others were F8 and F5. I would guess they were just randomly picked.

There doesn't seem to be any ARGish elements to votepetrelli.com yet. I think NBC are just trying to make some money out of the Vote Petrelli online store. Can't argue with that, but the site is so large it feels like there should be something there.

Actually, if you think about it - Nathan's not been involved in this at all so far, except by association. (It's his election we're ruining. *g*) It would make sense to me that if Hana's intentions were to hide information in his site, that she would need time to do it.

Wired this month mentions the "alternate-reality" game being run with Heroes as part of NBC's strategy. (the cover article is about Hiro) It just mentions that there is a game. This caught my attention because it treated the arg like just another well-known way to promote the show. I'm used to articles that assume no one knows what an ARG is.

If it was a full ARG, then the player actions could influence the outcome, couldn't it? And wouldn't we have reciprocal character communication with players?

I still get the feeling that this is more of an extension of the tv show, an ARE (Alternate Realty Experience) that gives the internet fans more to chew on (especially during the summer hiatus) without taking anything away from the broadcast (those who don't hang out online won't know what they are missing).

Love the Heroes graphic novels.

Looks like Smallville is doing the same thing (graphic novels) but with blatent use of the Yaris vehicle (sponsor) in the script. And then they are showing the graphic novel as a commercial during the broadcast (but sometimes the dialogue is flashed too quickly).

Yesterdays episode was awesome, I hope that season 2 is not too dissimilar to it [aka I hope that bomb 'aint stopped!] I noticed that they briefly showed a primatech paper business card with the website on it but a quick scan of the site shows nothing new.

I got this e-mail from Hana:

I just received the same message....I'm going to email her saying we should make actual posters to hang up and banners for websites.

I can't text as I don't live in the US and I can only text to phone numbers not SMS addresses.

I say she gets on tv, just like she did for the chats... say she's rigging the election... which starts a major investigation. After a nice little paper trail (easily fed them by Hana), it would lead them directly to Linderman, and obviously would show that he wants petrelli to win

The latest buzz concerns a site which has yet to come online.

Word is that YamagatoFellowship.org will be launching on Monday. Yamagato Industries being the company that Hiro's family (and Ando) work for.

It redirects to a 404 right now.

I have no idea how people discover this stuff.

The Yamagato site was mentioned in an article on Heroes in Entertainment Weekly.
