Youtube, Blogspot, Tumblr, Livejournal, Xanga, Wordpress, Friendfeed, Flickr, Microsoft's Live.com and yes... now Twitter too (noooooo!). A little bird tells us that apparently you can still read and post to twitter from another very popular social networking site which we won't name in hopes that it won't get blocked too. We bet you can guess what it is. Otherwise, going through a proxy and searching "#twitterblock" should help you find ways to get around the ban as well. Oh... how could we forget - Bing.com is also blocked (man, Microsoft can't catch a break here can they? Wonder what kind of guanxi google has that they don't in this country). If there was ever a time to get a VPN, now is it.

Well, this is as long as the Olympic Spirit carried - welcome to China, now go home!
If you kindly remember what day is on Thursday, the surprise element of this wholesale blocking of sites is rather minimal.
Chinasmack.com is also under DOS attack. Today sucks to be a netizen!
but isn't it's MSN that just cut all connections in 5 countries
another level of Cyber war...
Good point, Shanghaitoarena! And wasn't it also Bill Gates who ordered thousands of uppity Microsoft employees wiped out when they massed on the Redmond Microsoft campus back a while? I do believe it was! Another level! Genius!
Somewhere, Eastman and BBC1 are rubbing 'em out.
You've really got to feel sorry for Microsoft here, how long had bing been out there for?
The list is more surprising for what it doesn't include. I can think of a few UK based media outlets that haven't been holding back with their anniversary coverage, but are still accessible.
