Blogcn and BlogBus Ousted

Blogcn and Blogbus have been shut down by the Chinese government. Apparently, some people using the service were criticizing the government. China also has blogspot blogs blocked, but I've heard rumors that in some locations people are able to access them. The one blog that ruined it for all of us DynaWeb. It gives information on how to get around China's firewalls. From Reporters Without Borders
Blogbus.com and Blogcn.com allow Chinese Internet-users the chance to keep up a personal page without any technical knowledge. The sites are very popular, Blogbus.com alone hosting more than 15,000 blogs that have now been made inaccessible.
