Man, This Is Some F78ked Up Shite

Ok, so I’ve had to switch to Google Reader from Bloglines to read RSS feeds because the Great Firewall of China has blocked Bloglines.

Today, I discover that Google Reader is no longer displaying any RSS feeds from blogspot blogs – because Blogspot is now banned as well.

Facepalm!

Great firewall of China, lol

use a proxy to surf?

Thought blogspot was already banned 2 years ago when I was in China. They unban/ban again?

talk abt it.

my 3 weeks trip to yunnan = i cant blog in blogspot + wordpress + tweet + plurk. HA.

The Great Firewall of China is schizophrenic.
My 2 months here, it has banned and unbanned Youtube, Wordpress and Blogspot. All at different periods.

And different ISPs ban different sites. They actually practise self-censorship, like Msian newspapers. Ban it first, before the top makes noise.

I’m sure you know how to use a proxy.
Alternatively, try this software: Gpass. Don’t even need to install it. Just paste it on your PC and run it. Though, you won’t be able to download it in China (remember the Great Firewall of Ch1na?). I still can’t use it to post on my wordpress though. I might give Windows Live Writer a try.
Ask your friends to download and email to you, or you can contact me.
