China Blocks Bloggers' Sites

Posted by timothy on from the surprise-surprise dept.

JollyGoodChase writes "Not only are some some sites blocked in China, but according to NewScientist.com so are blogs. One anonymous Chinese blogger on a US site on Sunday: 'I know that a lot of Chinese people have blogs and that they will not be pleased to see their personal journals taken away for unknown political reasons.'"

    Every time I read the word "blog" I feel like putting on boots and stomping on baby kittens.

    It's about the stupidest word ever. There's not even a clear definition. As far as I've ever been able to figure out, a "blog" has to be:

    -A Website
    -Updated Sometimes
    -The Updates are displayed in reverse chronological order

    Which makes half of the internet a "blog." Take out the requirement that it's a website, and newspapers and magazines would be "blogs" too.

    It's a stupid, dirty word.
