I didn't find out about this until today, but apparently there was random countdown clock on this site eon8.com, eon8.org, or eon8.net.
They posted the site on a bunch of popular forums so everyone would go to the site and speculate about it. Thinking it was a terrorist threat or end of the world. There is a lot of links on the site that go to pages with just random numbers and letters. People thought they were a military code or something like that. There was even a world map with random red dots all over it.
In the end it was just a study of what the internet public would do with a mysterious site and lack of information. If you go to the site and click on reveal the truth a page comes up that answers all the questions about the site.
Its also the YTMND fad of the day so if you go there you'll see tons of Eon8 things.
