Evan Ratliff from Wired Magazine is conducting an experiment by seemingly vanishing as far as knowledge of his physical whereabouts.[1]. Wired has offered a $5000 reward for anyone who can find him. He is still "on the grid" and at large but communicating with his followers on Twitter. [2] The publicity stunt may be to call attention to Internet related unemployment. [3] The Google Wave development group has even proposed using the phenomenal ploy as a test case for the new technology pushing the frontier of real-time web activity. [4] Ratliff is using his specially created blog to taunt the "hunters" [5]. Facebook groups have emerged to team up and find him [6] or to help him remain at large [7]
