Openpedia.org > Technorati in China and other blocked sites
[ The Thinking Stick] The Technorati blog posted on Wednesday that people were complaining, maybe those complaints were heard in Beijing, or maybe it was blocked by accident. There are times here when you cant get to a bunch of sites, Im not sure if they reboot the filter servers or what, but there have been times when gmail has been blocked for hours, or yahoo all of a sudden goes down.
