Update: Google is now unblocked. I am sure it's blocking rather than "technical maintaince" since it's working fine with proxies.
Now, Google is almost totally blocked in China. A lot of its products, like Google Reader, Google Mail(GMail), Google Code... is not accessible in mainland China.
What a shame for us. What a shame for the stupid kommunist!

I'll continue to use google unless it is one day blocked beyond all hopes. Meanwhile I want my blogspot back... I'm almost quitting blogging now that my main blog service has somehow curiously stopped working without a proxy server...
Thank you, Aw, for keeping this site alive!
f*uck, it is blocked again, how can use my gmail?
No wander I could not access to gamil for days!
Anyway, I can use gmail now... Life is still going ahead no matter anything happens out of expectation, right?
Yes. They can block Google but they cannot block our mind.
Ya, currently Twitter and Facebook are blocked...
We are not a part of Internet!!!
Hello Aw, I just read your post and found you a great friend. I also began using WP in 2008 as a later comer then found it a great fun. I have great interest on Internet business but didn't find a very good clue. I hope to interact more with you when free :)

hi Aw Guo. With wujie and similar programs blocked now.. the situation is getting ridiculous! Some google.com results even get randomly blocked, e.g. technology web forums. How do most Chinese people who don't use twitter, facebook or youtube see this? As an Egnlish speaker in Beijing I find youtube irreplaceable..
take care!
