Okay, now Google+ actually IS blocked in China

Or so our most recent efforts have revealed (on multiple browsers, on multiple computers, just to be sure.) When entering plus.google.com, instead of getting the uphill January molasses-on-a-snail Gmail speed, now it’s just the immediate and dreaded but polite suggestion that maybe we should reexamine our web connection, site address, or logic in moving to China. In other words, it’s straight-up blocked. Clever move, China. After media had a field day mis-reporting the blockage last week, I wonder who’s willing to swallow their pride and give the same headline another try? I can see it now: “Google+ blocked in China! …no really guys, this time it is!”
