When I arrived in China July 3, only YouTube was blocked. By the time I left Twitter Facebook & Friendfeed were too. Dictators hate web 2.0.
Only cause they like to be the ones doing the super poking... - Johnny Worthington
He he controls the super poke controls the world.. - Jon, the Beartato of FF

I'd really like to go to China, but I don't know if I could handle a country that doesn't have the "real" Internet. - Kimber Scott
Kimber Scott, i too would like to go and tour china -- i just think that would be very interesting, ya the government blocking and controlling the medias is a pain, but whats there to do? - Bryce Campbell
They didn't like Web 1.0 either :) - Joel Webber

It's the Leo effect ... all that posting .... keep making your mark Leo :-) - Peter Konnecke from email
You can very easily just use proxy servers in China, through for example yor firefox settings. Easy thing to do, then no sites can be blocked by them. - Charbax
very true leo. for all the people that think there is no value in social networks or twitter they just need to look to china. if these services were not valuable at sharing information and news china would never shut them down ;) - Rodney Rumford
Interesting! Not too surprised though... - mahjongmi
China might not like that private user information of their citizen be in the hands of US companies, as we all know, all US companies have to provide backdoors to CIA, NSA and such into all online communications. - Charbax
Well, you should come to Iran! It's much worse here. It's been quite a long time these web 2.0 sites have been blocked. - Daryoosh (داريوش) from fftogo
...and love absolute power & control. - Corvida from iPhone
