A website would be nearly useless. Goggle for "won't wake up" --
you'll find over a million hits. 

A spam run? The filters would keep it out of many mailboxes, and in
this situation, I doubt that many people would stop to check their
e-mail anyway.

And what would they say? "I'm awake" is about it. For at least the
first 16-24 hours, there would be no obvious clue as to why they're
unaffected. 

They might guess it's the Faraday cage, but there'd be a thousand
other possible explanations, it being something passed by human
contact, of which true computer geeks have little, being the most
likely.
