Bloglines: Another tool for blasting The Great Firewall of China
April 10, 2008
Having been in China for almost two years, I had experienced several websites and domains being blocked by the Great Firewall of China. From time to time, popular websites like Youtube, Wordpress, Blogger, and Feedburner will be blocked by China’s IP filtering and preventing everyone from surfing those sites from within the China portals. As of writing this entry, domains like *.wordpress.com, *.blogspot.com and those domains hosted by wordpress.com and blogger are inaccessible. Pity me for I can’t visit my favorite bloggers. I could using proxy servers but not only it prevents me from leaving a comment, it also prevents the images from loading properly. Worse, my computer gets infected with virus and spywares.
But I am the Blog Almighty, ruler of the cyberworld. Not even the Great Firewall of China could stop me from monitoring feeds from my minions. The deities from Bloglines have manifested their interest to support my undertakings. Having your feeds delivered to my Bloglines reader, I could continue to watch over your actions.
Bloglines is a free web-based service which gathers news feeds, blogs and other rich web content. However, most bloggers are still unfamiliar with the workarounds in this web-based feed reader. Some have made their first attempts but did not continue because they got confused after submitting a site for feed gathering.
