If there's one thing that we at Shanghaiist would like to thank the
Net Nanny for, it's that she's totally reunited Chinese microbloggers with the one big happy family that is Twitter again. You see, previously, everyone was distributed across a plethora of local microblogging services, but now with the
demise of the two kingpins of the Chinese twitter clone world,
Fanfou and
Jiwai, everyone's just decided to collectively show the
GFW their middle finger by signing up for a damn
VPN and rejoining the conversation on Twitter. Now Chinese microbloggers and their foreign counterparts are finally talking
directly to each other, while news and stories and translations of anything remotely China-related are spreading faster than you can say
H1N1! So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you Net Nanny!
