internet - Blocks on blogger and typepad still in place

First test back in China show that both blogger and typepad are still blocked through a so-called url-block. Rumors earlier suggested that both weblog hosts were available without proxies in China. Reason for this is that larger hosting companies regularly change IP-addresses and those are followed by the Chinese censor. Only in the holidays (and we just enjoyed a full week) the censor has better things to do. Although the blocks are rather symbolic, lifting them would be a good sign.
