China

No Twitter in China :(

I just arrived in Shanghai last night after a series of minor mishaps. More pressingly, I cannot seem to connect to Twitter. This is obviously upsetting. Even my remote Twitter program cannot connect to Twitter.

After just googling “china twitter blocked,” I have to say, I am deeply saddened. I knew about YouTube, but this?

Ok, now figured out that Tumblr is blocked as well. How am I supposed to overtake the media industry if I do not have access to major websites?

I will go eat something weird for breakfast to make my social media butterfly self calm down.

  1. Invest in a proxy server program. The Great Fire Wall has blocked Twitter, Blogger, WordPress and Youtube. Either that or learn to use the domestic versions.

  5. I have a couple of things to say, I see your page and the right hand side has this menu that is on top of the written word. Weird…is that my browser or your skills?

    Anyways, twitter has been shut off in China for about one month… I read it in the news… now what will you do???!

    omg!
