China: Technorati unblocked (again)

Categories: East Asia, China, History, Human Rights, Technology

After having been blocked and unblocked in China, blog aggregator Technorati seems to be back [1], says Imagethief blogger Will, the day after the the seventeenth anniversary of one of the darkest days in China's contemporary history [2].

“Why now?” Will asks. “If I were a parnoid, conspiracy-obsessed recluse (I and I don't specifically deny it) I might suspect it's because today is June 5th, which is to say, on the back side of June 4th. (Along with a few others, Imagethief noted some weird hiccups in Google's service late last week as well, further adding to his cold sweats and furtive, darting eye movements.)”
