discovered something old was new again on the Internet in the country. At times, like Saturday night when I had my head in a box of delivery pizza and college football on T.V., I forget that I live in China. Other times, like when I try to use Wikipedia, it cannot be more clear where I am. Today, the ban on the site has been lifted and Wikipedia in Chinese and English is accessible to all. The Wikipedia Foundation has long tracked the saga of Chinese blockage and unblockage of the website. They conference in the country to discuss and promote Wikimedia projects across the region, including Taiwan and Hong Kong as well as mainland China. Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Yahoo!
