holy crap was because those people figured all that stuff out... like decoding all that stuff and such... it's impressive is all.

it's an "alr", alternate reality game... basically they created a fake company - the hanso foundation - and create a presence for it in the "real world". there's the commercials (only aired during lost episodes), the book (the bad twin), a couple other tv things (such as an interview with a representative of hanso foundation, and of the supposed author of the bad twin)... and the general internet presence... websites scattered around, with puzzles and mysteries to solve.

there is no "official" definition of what the game is... in fact the people aren't even sure what the eventual goal is, though they think at the moment the goal is to find this missing person from the foundation itself, while uncovering various shady dealings of the hanso foundation execs...

it's just an interesting extension of the show and quite thorough imo
