 My company now blocks QuickTopic. I've found http-tunnel.com's free service to be highly effective and working around this. Essentially all Internet traffic, on any port, is VPN'd thru port 80 and just appears to be traffic to http-tunnel.com. Of course anyday I imagine that site will be blocked and then I'll be out of luck again.

 This legitimizes blogs in a big way, even if 95% of them are crap.

 Very sad news.

I thought about ways around this, however. If Chinese users can still post to Blogspot, but can't read their own weblogs, perhaps they can be set up with RSS feeds, allowing them to mirror their weblogs onto other sites which they can see.

Meanwhile, I'm encouraging people to back up, just in case...

UM. Au lieu du grand mur à l'épreuve du feu blogging Blogspot, cela devrait _ bloquer _ BlogSpot.
