In regards to Pond's '94 creation: Couldn't it have been made by a different company, and then bought by whomever might need it? Especially if this original hypothetical Pond company went under; I would imagine that the domain name would be quite cheap.

I really hate to burst the bubble here, but I highly doubt that pond.com is IG. The reason that searching Google under Prometheus Corporation turns up that page is because it used to belong to a internet service and hosting provider by the name of FishNet / Prometheus Information Corporation. From what I can tell, it was bought by the current owners in December 2007.

And, I would probably bet that the whole Prometheus Corp angle will be a dead end anyway. The name was changed to Massive Dynamics in the show, so I doubt that the name Prometheus Corp would still be used. Especially, since there is a real company named Prometheus Corp that was tried for fraud: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/lr17682.htm. I don't think that they would want to be associated in any way.

The fact that the corporation is now called Massive Dynamics in the show is what clinched it for me that pond.com in not IG. So just ignore my previous comments, I guess.

As for Master Quark, I just think its a little too convenient that the PMs link to his YouTube page from their official website AND he is this flippant, obtuse fellow that likes to speak in riddles. He may not be a IG character per se, rather someone that BR is in cahoots with to help this thing go viral (as if they needed much help)

I would like to agree that pond.com is not IG......BUT....... Previous posters on this thread are correct in saying that the date registered only the original registration date....following that the domain could easily have been sold and re-sold before finally being transferred to 'Domains by proxy' where the information for the registrant was 'hidden'. I work for the global registrar of the .WS top level domain and unfortunately have to unlock domains and process transfer codes all day Sad

...which is what I should be doing right now. Also...when you click into the site and view the image of the tree in close up does anyone else see the image of the key slightly below the flower? Kind of a strange thing to add to the graphic for a gardening site....

I've got to agree with AzureWolf, I don't see any reasonable connection between Fringe and pond.com.

In other news, there are three new Fringe radio trailers out, at least one of which ("scanner") has some scrambled-sounding noise within it. The clips are here.

Anyone out there have skills at analyzing sound files?
