Message in a Bottle
Connecting people from 176 countries around the world, Message in a Bottle has built a fast growing user community since its release. Get it today so you can get connected as well!
From solitude to solitude, a message sealed inside a bottle that addressed to no one but for everyone is carried by the waves to a place far, far away. It contains secret, it stores magic. It conveys intimacy; it links the unknown; it builds relation previously unrecognized. After it crossed great distances and overcame many obstacles, it was washed ashore and picked up by a complete stranger. One would wonder if this is pure accident or just meant to be?
Take a piece of paper, write down your story: be it joy or sorrow, plain or euphoria. Seal it in a bottle, release it into the ocean and watch where fate takes it…
As you wonder around the sandy beach, you happen upon this bottle. The message in this bottle seems have been making its way toward someone for a long time. And that someone turns out to be you. Pick it up and read it as it is addressed to its finder. Let the message talk to you, tell you the story, take you to places you have never been to before, experience emotion you don’t know existed. Then write a reply to the sender, or simply seal the message back in the bottle and let it drift on.
“The wave always returns, and always returns as a different wave.”
- Marina Tsvetaeva

TIPS:
*Wait for bottles: you might not receive bottles right away. It takes time for ocean current to carry bottles across the sea.
*You don't need to keep the application running: you can receive bottles without running the app. Check back the beach from time to time.
*Release more bottles: to increase your chance of making a connection, release more bottles. You start out with 3 bottles. Use them. You can also re-use bottles you picked up.
