I was charmed by this experiment. Must be my soft side popping up every once in a while. Countless times I’ve seen this in films. Even dropped some messages in bottles myself, hoping that someday they’d wash ashore in a country far far away, that I’d get a letter in reply. Ah… Childhood memories. Well, now you can have them digitalized. With Oceangram (launched in May of 2006) you can send bottles online, and wait for bottles to arrive. At this time 100,019 messages are drifting the binary ocean. Write something nice to someone somewhere. Wish something. And if you’ve got some time to spare, wait for a bottle to come your way. Once you’ve opened a bottle, you can add a note to the message you’ve just received, that way other people know where the bottle has been. Very cute.

Hey! This is a lot of fun. I enjoy seeing where the messages come from. If you’d like to tell me about your messages or see if I have picked yours up, check out my blog at oceangramstories.blogspot.com.
Enjoy : )
