Twitter, the new addiction of the digital vanguard, seems to be blocked this morning from Shanghai. The signs are not good. The block is at the level where you would normally find the internet filters and when I use a proxy I get through. The domain name where the IP-block takes place is not registered with the Whois-services.
Over Gmail, I'm still getting messages in from Beijing, so it seems more a technical hiccup on a local level than a human decision. All the humans are enjoying their weekend anyway. Still, a nuisance.

Hi Fons, another site that seems to be blocked (for more than a week already) is the biggest Dutch social networking community Hyves. Only through a proxy I can get in. Not sure why, I never had problems before.
And why is my picture in the bottom-right corner of this?

You're always on my mind and my computer, Maria :-)
Actually part of my Google bar, showing the pictures I used on this weblog. So, it was a matter of luck you are there and not some soft porn.
BTW: Twitter is working normally again.
