Talk Digger<\/a> teaches me many things since I am working on it. I discovered many things: I found search engines bugs (I will come back on this in a later post), I learned many Ajax tricks, etc. However, today I learned a thing much more important: the situation of Chinese people and the state of the Internet in China.<\/p>\n

I know that the Chinese government censors many, many websites. I also know that Chinese bloggers are even more censored. However, I never really question myself on that reality. This morning, all that ignorance slapped me into the face.<\/p>\n

I opened Talk Digger to see who was talking about it and about my blog. Then I found that little post in German <\/a>wrote by VanVan<\/a>. I was astonished to see the name of Talk Digger beside the ones of Skype and Flickr. Then I immediately checked my logs: no one connection came from China during the night. She was right: the Chinese government censored Talk Digger. Awesome; I never thought it possible, but it is.<\/p>\n

A few Chinese were able to access to Talk Digger via this address: fgiasson.com\/td\/. However, it seems that they also banned my domain name fgiasson.com today. Unbelievable and how sad. Many, many Chinese had tried Talk Digger in the first hours of online life. Around 24 hours after, the domain name has been put into the censored sites list.<\/p>\n

So, could I do something to make Talk Digger available to them? Anyone have an idea?<\/p>\n

I could probably build something like an email diffusion list of Talk Digger’s result once a day. Could it work? Probably, I would need to check the possibility. Then, if it is possible, how could I reach them if they can’t even read my blog? I do not have any idea yet. I will need a good night of sleep and hope to get a good idea.<\/p>\n

So, many brains are always better than only one; so, you, do you have an idea? Leave it there and I will consider every of them.<\/p>\n

Update: 4 august 2005:<\/strong> It seems that the Chinese government did not ban the domain name fgiasson.com… yet. So, if you look to use Talk Digger in Chine, use that URL to access it: http:\/\/fgiasson.com\/td\/<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
