Shame on the Indian government. Its [[http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&q=india+blocks+blogs&btnG=Search+Blogs|all over the blogosphere]] — interesting that I didn’t notice it until this afternoon (thanks Viksit!). Thats one bad thing about spending time trying out different aggregators.. you lose track of the news itself. Anyways, with the amount of publicity this is/will be getting, I hope the situation resolves itself quickly. Look up BloggersCollective on Google Groups for more info.
**UPDATE** //July 21, 2006, 3:40 pm PST//: It seems [[http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1042943|blogs are back]]. Can someone from India please confirm this?
It\’s official and It\’s in the TOI and DNA in Mumbai today. Check link for DNA news in my other blog at http://bombaybleeding.blogspot.com
Came here thru technorati
Hope they remove the ban soon!
the buzz is that specific blogs were supposed to be blocked, but most likely some lazy/incompetent moron didn’t understand the concept of subdomains, and got everyhing blocked.
*@nandita*: Hey, welcome to floatingsun! You have a pretty awesome food blog there…. yummy :) Yeah, I hope the Indian government comes around to its senses to. The entire world media is clubbing together India with the likes of Pakistan and China.
*@brajesh*: Seriously, what were they thinking? That no one would notice? Sheesh!
eh, to be expected, but not nice at all and yeah which terrorist will put up a blog and wait for terrorist friends’ comments?
No, the blogs are still being blocked.
The connection has timed out
The server at http://www.buntysays.blogspot.com is taking too long to respond.
*@disha*: you’ll be surprised!!
*@bunty*: hmm, I read stories again today saying the ban has been lifted. The DoT is citing “technical misunderstanding” as the problem.
Nopes man. I just checked (again) and still no blogspot access. Perhaps it’s just my ISP, but that’s fairly improbable.
Hi,
Nice blog!
Why don’t you consider writing about some of the new “India 2.0” sites that are creating a little buzz as well?
Eg: http://www.ilaaka.com
http://www.onyomo.com
Thanks!
Rajeev
*@rajeev*: Thanks, I most certainly will. I didn’t know about either of those websites! Are you involved with Ilaaka? You might want to drop a line to webyantra.net and startups.in as well.
