This is fun, but then I am pretty bored right about now (http://www.oceangram.com/index2.html)

OK i just realised what yeti was talking about. If you load the screen u wait for a bit a prewritten message comes to the shore which (after you click on it) u can open, read, add to and then throw back, or not add too and simply discard.
If you click on an empty bottle already on the shore you can start your own message that will be thrown into the ocean. I dont know about that adding your email so you can track it aspect, I'm not sure I trust that.

What happens? Do you end up in someone's e-mail box like spam?

nah u just pick up a message then read it and add ur own if you like then send again, or discard the whole thing
someone keeps discarding mine
i'm not surprised since i dont actually have anythign worthwhile to say

But where does it go? To other people that have sent a bottle or random e-mail addresses? Or some random 3rd world island like Haiti?

it has nothing to do with email adresses I dont think it just goes back on the webpage and I assume whoever clicks it next gets the piece of paper you wrote on , and other people also wrote on, since you're adding to it. I haven't added any email on it to play.
I wouldn't suggest you write it (your email) on the message in a bottle either
who knows where it might end up

could you read it all I see is squares.

You need a language pack installed onto your computer to read it.

It's a nice message, a poem. Here's the translation:

The grass school
which the fall mourns I
to bring
everywhere to be seeking sadly how
also cannot find you to stand actually
the place - - mourns me
to die to hoe weeds my
grass also to have no way recently to escape death by a hair's breadth
each time goes to four labor on the roads to be able to pay attention to that in two plot
male student dormitory east gate long this morning once more passed by in brick
seam grass, actually discovered but it only then
has already not recalled to mind yesterday that rumbling grass cutter in there
the sound mood somewhat
to be all of a sudden heavy the place which therefore went all out to look for it to take root
originally I sorrowfully to discover actually
I how also couldn't look
continuously all only was pay attention to it, has not taken downIt in as soon as
the place yesterday outside the dormitory rumble the grass cutter sound let me remember outside the dormitory that piece of small
lap waste noon to pass looked that, really
anything did not have
my that to hate that!
But autumn outside the dormitory the only luminescent spot also is written off
the share
which I then mourn
not to have the sad share I
not once to protect actually they

It probably said something really profound.
