What a great resource! You should promote it from the messaging console at QuickSendSMS.com. Easy to use, nice and quick and you can text friends about it for free. IMHO IE9 was a headache to install.

Also, the latest hint (an image) shows the town Outlook on the map. And the whole image is from Saskatchewan, Canada.. Someone pointed out that it maybe had something to do with the .SK domain TLD (even though that has nothing to do with Saskatchewan or Saskatchewan )… BUT Outlook.SK leads to a bing.com search of “Outlook”….
