    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!

    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.
