If what people are saying is true, that the dot hasn't been red since 911 (maybe that's not true?), a representative from the site ought to be at least commenting on this.

this is on there site explaining the dot and pritty much says it shouldn't be taken to seriously
"Please note that this display is not intended or expected to be interpreted as if it were a formal analysis using large amounts of data. In particular, it should not be construed as a preliminary indicator of what might be happening with the "global consciousness", and it certainly cannot be used as an early warning system about possible events.
It is just a composite display of a statistic that reflects the relative intrecorrelation of the eggs, and it cannot be reliably interpreted. The reason is that the best data we have, based on sophisticated analysis, shows that the signal to noise ratio is too small for any single event or brief data segment to be meaningful. What we see in analysis of a few minutes or hours is partly signal but mostly noise, and the noise cannot be distinguished from a possible signal -- until we compound 30 or 40 events or the equivalent of many hours to days of data. The dot is an interesting display of the current state, and is in fact the product of real-time analysis, but it isn't suitable for drawing interpretive conclusions. "
