internet - Blocked in December: blogspot, typepad, wikipedia

Weifang Radish reminded me that a new month has started with again possible changes into the blocking regime of the internet censor. Indeed, as Weifang Radish notes, somebody of the millions of users of blogger.com has been naughty and their domain name 'blogspot' is blocked again after months of troubleless existence.
That block would then include the official China Environmental News, who today reports about the resignation of the chief of SEPA, China's environmental agency.
Their competitor typepad is still blocked, as it the online encyclopedia wikipedia, who does not deserve this.

Update: Message for the Silicon Hutong: flickr and scoopt have not yet been blocked, as far as I can see. Hope you did not bet too much on a blockage, since it is almost fully unpredictable. And people keep on using proxies of course, at least the three percent of the Chinese internet users that has an interest in non-prc servers. (Still a three million though.)
