Blocked In China…

As widely reported since a few days, Youtube, Blogspot, Tumblr, Livejournal, Xanga, WordPress, Friendfeed, Flickr, Microsoft’s Live.com, the new MS Bing.com and Twitter too, of course are blocked in China.

But you can still update Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed and many other social networks at once with http://ping.fm (works from mobile too). It doesn’t mean you’ll have access to blocked sites from China but at least you can keep your lucky followers – who are out of China – updated with your stream.

Hope this helps… ;)
