A somewhat biased view on China…
Since beginning of June, people in China cannot access Flickr, or more preceisely, can access Flick but cannot see the pictures.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with censorship. Who could imagine this? No, I’m sure it’s just some misconfiguration of some servers betweem Flickr Servers Farm and China. I even heard other countries such as Iran, UAE and Saudi Arabia have/had the same configuration issues.
Whatsoever, it’s getting annoying and so I decided to find a way to see the pictures on Flickr…
It took me on Google Query and less than two minutes…
Well, this solution still is not perfect…
First, if you use Flickr on your blog, most of the people from China (who don’t have this Firefox Add-on) will not see your pictures.
Also, it obliges you to use Firefox to browse Flickr pictures.
And then, if you use Firefox, you’ll never know when the misconfiguration of the Chinese routers will be fixed!

Were you being sarcastic about censorship? A story appeared on the CNN website back in June on the Flickr photo thing. Here’s th eoriginal article: http://www.reuters.com/article/inDepthNews/idUSPEK21813920070619?feedType=RSS
It’s very bastardly to let us upload photos but not see them.

I was indeed being a little bit sarcastic.but anyway… Did you try the Firefox Workaround?
