Great Firewall of China

Baidu LogoAll those wrestling matches over the Olympic Torch reminded me that China is supposed to be allowing freer Internet access for the Olympic Games. So, have you broken through The Great Firewall of China? This graphic is the logo of Baidu, the main Chinese search engine. (Panda paw print?) Click the title link to try it. Type the name of your website in its search box and see what it finds. Not a lot? To see your blocked URL bounce back from China, CLICK (the test is offline at the time of writing, so copy its URL for future trials). Now try Free Tibet in Baidu. Surprise: at least 10 pages of hits!
