I came across a submitted site on Digg.com a little while ago, and I've found it kind of interesting.
Site: http://www.eon8.com

Anyone else heard of it? No one seems to have any idea what it's counting down to.. I find it kind of creepy.

Ditto on the creepyness. I gotta remember to check the site tomorrow and see what happens.
Update: I've been trying to collect links from some of the sites around the net which reference eon8. I'll post a list in a little bit.
EDIT: I've made a list... some pretty weird stuff. If you're a pseudo-conspiracy theorist like me, your mind is buzzing!!
Of course, there is a wikipedia entry for it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eon8
Definition of the 8th celestial eon
http://www.khaldea.com/eon/eon8.shtml
Email from someone inside eon8?
http://eon8whatthehellisit.blogspot.com/
Dead site somehow related to eon8? Moo.html?
http://www.digitdreams.com/
Domain information about eon8
http://whois.domaintools.com/Eon8.com
A shoutcast server on eon8?
http://www.eon8.com:8000
After clicking on the "Stream URL" link, it brings up
http://www.notebookinhand.com
Site belonging to the owner of notebookinhand.com
http://www.chrisrossi.com/
Nope, the site was hit by the digg effect. It is slow because so many people are accessing it. We'll see what happens tomorrow night though.Originally Posted by Spartan Erik

There's a big discussion going on irc://irc.usrv.de, channel #eon8, about this.

So what's so special about eon8? Seems like a cleverly coded website. Almost like hack-in-the-box program. With the number of hours counting down. It says 19 hours and counting.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" Romans 1:16
I've setup a list of the information I've gathered from around the web and included a bunch of links to sites about it.
It seems that a lot of people are intreagued by this. While the common consensus is that it is a viral marketing campaign, I believe otherwise... why the poorly coded site? Why advertise for an advertisment?
Oh well, check it out on my blog.

wtf that's crazy, obviously i wonder if anyone is taking interest in this or actually believe it, i think it's quite creepy that the red dots could resemble missle silos or nuclear power plants, because i have seen the hit show "24" and i believe it's the 4th season that the whole big act of the muslim terrorists blowing up our nuclear power plants. Also, the virus would be creepy because there is also a virus in that season that obviously corrupts the databases of the nuclear power plants, so anyone else got anything to say abuot this, i think it's just a hoax to get people interested in their site but who knows..?

Lol I like your blog post about WarGames; that was the best old-school hacking movie I've ever seen.. such a classic.
Well 12 hours to go.. we'll find out what this eon8 thing is about soon..
I'm 99% sure that this is an advertising campaign, or something similar to Bungie's "I Love Bees" plot.
