What I'm sure is that some of my friends and I cant access the site.

And I suggest in the next version of Windows, Vista, Microsoft should put an auto startup proxy service like Tor in, because I’m afraid one day when they block everything, we Chinese have to surfing through proxy.

Who’s the web2.0 killer?

0 Comments Published August 1st, 2006 in China

Who’s the web2.0 killer? Nobody but Chinese government.

After blocking WikipediA, Blogspot, Technorati, etc, Feedburner, another wonderful web service may be blocked in some areas of China.

This morning when I got up and want to burn my feed of my English Blog through Feedburner, I suddenly found that I cant access the site. I tried TOR (an anonymous internet communication system) later and everything is fine. Then I asked some of my friends in China. Some of them are in the same trouble, other lucky guys have no such problem (obviously I’m not one in those lucky). So I cant say that our Great FireWall has already blocked Feedburner, but I’m sure that some ISP did.

China blocks Technorati

Published April 26th, 2006 in Search Engines Tags: censorship, china, chinese internet, great firewall, Search Engines, technorati.

I received an email this morning from Ken Carroll of ChinesePod telling me that China has blocked Technorati at the great firewall - it would appear that Technorati will no longer be available to anyone to use in China.

Co-incidentally, when I interviewed Technorati’s CEO David Sifry on the PodLeaders show a couple of weeks back, Ken submitted the following question for David -

Do you have a China strategy? What do you foresee there in terms of blogging and blog search?

Does this mean Technorati isn’t censoring search results into China like Google, MSN, Yahoo are? And if this is the case, will Technorati now have to start doing the Chinese government’s censorship job for them if they wish to be seen in China once more?

I have posted about this topic in the past and, in my naive opinion, unless all the search engines come together to formulate a common China strategy, China will continue to pick them off one by one.

UPDATE:
I see the Mad About Shanghai blog is also reporting that Technorati is being blocked in China.
