Yes this is the site you heard about on Leo Laporte's "The Tech Guy" show. When he heard about the concept, Leo said "I Love It!"
This site introduces an exciting new approach to transmedia storytelling. It blurs the line between reality and fantasy while incorporating multiple modern technologies.
The concept employs a simple patented method for conveying a story; You (The Eavesdropper) are blind-copied on emails between the fictional characters in a story, permitting you to privately observe the story unfold as it occurs. You will soon become immersed in a story that is happening in the same time-line as your life. No one will ever see your email and it will never be used for marketing purposes.
Eavesdroppers may also elect to receive occasional informative text messages as various significant real-time story events transpire. Some story characters may have FaceBook, YouTube or Twitter accounts on which they post additional information. This allows the eavesdropper to proactively explore more details about the evolving story.
All emails from a story share the same domain. Upon signing up for a story, you will be given the domain name. This enables you to use email routing rules and dedicate folders to emails of specific stories.
Some have described the experience as surreal. The eavesdropper enjoys the perception of a private encounter by observing the exchange of other's emails. This strange experience invokes an imaginary journey that is woven into the time line of the eavesdropper. Story lines are interesting, provocative and often humorous. Watch as a secret strange drama unfolds.
It's free and easy to sign up . You may then choose to eavesdrop on a story of interest. You will soon find yourself in the center of a transmedia experience of real-time events. Join this amazing encounter and find out what so many others are talking about.
Emaileavesdropper is designed to give the illusion of eavesdropping and does not promote the unethical practice of eavesdropping on correspondence between unwitting parties.
