Anyone can post comments on TIDO, yes, bt that wasn't what i was referring to. Only TIDO can post blog entries , and the last entry asks MissingTeddyHanssen to stop the campaign , if thats not a good enough reference than I don't know what would be better, a hyperlink?

True to "Cloverfield" form. Sites have never been outright given. They've always dropped a clue in our general direction and left it up to us to put the pieces together. Same principle here.
Mentioning this specific poster by name makes said poster IG, which in turn makes her comments IG as well because the PM's only let select comments through.
I'm not saying the blog is IG - it could very well not be - but there's more pointing to it being IG than OOG.

I just don't know why they would use Blogspot instead of just making a site. But I suppose it could be for the realism.
Wait, can you do that? I call AKAparalax OOG!!!

I'm on the fence with this one... the dates make it appear IG, but that could be easily mimicked in Blogger. I need more proof.

I'm changing my mind. I was dumb, and didn't look at the actual website. I was under the impression that the "Stop your campaign" thing was a blog comment, and not a blog. So this could be IG.
Edited to say: My main problem right now is that the blog seems like it's written by somebody following the game, not a person in-universe. It's hard to explain what I mean, but wouldn't TIDO W.A.V.E. be more secretive than to have a family member know that he works for them, and conversely, be well known enough through acts of ecoterrorism that she'd mention it? I dunno, outside evidence points to the blog being real, but the blog itself seems shady.

Both sides of the argument are too valid to knock. I say we wait to see how the blog progresses.

Well, I found one telling error. You can backdate posts in blogger, but I know that blog didn't exist just a few days ago because I checked the url. I also notice that the url of the oldest post on the blog and the date it is showing published don't match. That is, a post's url published "Thursday, March 20, 2008" should contain "/2008/03/." The one in question shows April: http://missingteddyhanssen.blogspot.com /2008/04/ ok.html
This could happen if the blogger published the post in April and then edited the date and republished. It looks like the blogger stated editing the dates prior to publishing after that initial error.
That leaves me firmly on the fence. And given the inelegance of it all, I'd much rather go to bed.

The name of the supposed CIA agent John Garrettie seems very suspicious
The only Google hit for the name is the same blog post, so I tried to de-anagram it
http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=john+garrettie&t=1000
lots of even more suspicious results - see for yourself
how about: Regather Joint or Regather In Jot?
Man, that's called Apophenia i guess
P.S. Alyse mentions that Teddy is allergic to penicillin and sulfa - could it make him immune to the parasite's bites?

Profile says she's been blogging since march, so I suggest we keep an eye out for this one. If it's fake, the person who made it will probably make a revealing mistake soon - after all, he'll get all excited with all the attention.

OK, I've written to Alyse. Even if it's OOG it could be funny.
I've mentioned HUD and other NY people, but I haven't mentioned Jamie yet. I want to see, how much Alyse knows about Jamie.
I asked also about her MySpace. Wonder, what'll come.
P.S. Even if it's registered this year - who knows, perhaps last year PMs (if it's IG) didn't know anything about existance of Alyse

I understand you can back publish articles.. but can you backdate when you registered? her profile indicates she's been a user since March too
Also, found this in the the source:

Thats the hit tracker all the official sites used. I know it's not 100% proof since it's common knowledge. But it's a point in favor.

I think this blog is real, the blog was created pretty early right? If this person made a fake blog, he would be sick to know all this stuff before TIDO updated their website.
The comment that was posted underneath the new post on TIDO, tells about a blog too and that the blog is somekind of campaign.
I think we got a IG viralwebsite right here..
