Blogger is back AGAIN

It is just unavailable again after writing "the congress". Now I can only access blogspot from the backstage console. Go to hell, GFW, which banned blogger for over 3 years now. Blogspot时断时续,迟迟不能解禁。曾经想过用其他的博客站,可惜国外的太慢,国内好的太少,我想要的就是简洁、好用,如Google,牛博这样的。继续自己在blogger涂鸦了。 Below was I wrote yesterday. Obviously, GFW just had a snap. 8 months later, Blogger is back again, I hope this time is finally and official, probably Google China reached some aggrements with GFW. Flickr is still blocked, and sadly, Youtube is banned although it is part of Google now. Anyway, it is a good news me that blogspot functions again, to me, it is more useful than Youtube because we cannot upload videos to Youtube in China, so the useness is very limited. Based on web news,YouTube blocked in China; Flickr, Blogspot restored. Google, keep it on, bring us full functionning Youtube. Yahoo, pls. try hard to bring us Flickr. I wrote in April, 07 Blogger is back. There is no information on blogger's FAQ regarding this issue. I can access the console which means the server is working, but I just cannot access the blog homepage, it is known that blogger is blocked from time to time (unpredictable timing) in China for unknown reasons (it is too free? China requires bloggers to submit their real IDs). It's great to see blogger is back and I hope this time it can be accessible for long long time. But it is frustrated that I know there is great chance that it is blocked again sooner or later, it is just a matter of time. Ultimately, this depends on Chinese government's attitude. Sometimes, I really feel there is some down sides of staying in China.
