skype.com网站在这里不能访问，通过Proxy则可，其他也有地方不能访问。至于问，有必要封闭这个网站吗？Tom.com不是也能够下载吗？也许这正是玄妙的地方… 
关于Skype的机制已经有详细介绍，这个去中心化的P2P应用当然有杀手级的效果，不但在语音方面创造了应用价值点，而且还有更多潜力可以挖掘，起码让信息可以更安全畅通无阻。这也是我去年彻底弃绝MSN Messenger的原因，当然了，我本来就根本不用QQ。
Google出价10亿美元标Skype，未果，很好，等着加个零吧。
wangjianshuo:互联网背后的真实的人的声音，我可没兴趣关心谁是所谓“当红的Blogger”，因为成为在中国成为知名Blogger一直有文化基础。但是他正在参与的“客齐集”，确实一个值得关注的东西：
我做的客齐集，也会沿着真实的路走下去。我会接着不断的细分地域，细分到大家可以在自己的步行距离里面联系，这样会有越来越多的人走到网下去，把互联网变成一个和电话一样的工具，让真实的东西（看得到的笑脸，听得到的声响）慢慢的填满互联网空荡的空间。[王建硕]
Yining 说程益中获得世界新闻自由奖的答谢辞应该被阅读：
… 对于我们来说，当务之急是扩大公众知情权、提高政治能见度。这是中国新闻从业人员义不容辞的责任，也是“无权势者的力量”。作为新闻从业人员，你有不说话的权力，但没有讲假话的权力。讲真话不是新闻从业人员的最高准则，而是底线。然而极其可悲，现在这是一条高压线。
When I tried to upgrade my skype this morning, it’s found that the skype.com site is not accessible here. However, if i apply proxy, it can been seen. I’m wondering if this site is becoming GFW’s new blackname.
Actually, the site is often not so easy to be loaded from this year on. I’m wondering that the p2p application is getting more attention by GFW system. Though GFW can’t block skype’s advanced communication, they are trying to stop more and more people downloading the tool from it’s web site.
Bittorrent as a Free Access protocal
I had a good talk with Ashwin Navi, COO of Bittorrent.com, who was visiting China in the passing week. We talked about China’s internet market and some business features, as well the Free Access issue. We brainstormed some ideas to use bittorrent as a distributed protocal to access blocked web sites without proxy. The ideas is yet to be confirmed by Bittorrent’s father Bram Cohen, anyway, it’s a possible way in some longer future.
Xiaoqiang: China’s First Web-Organized Protests
Andrew forwared me Xiao Qiang’s article on AWSJ( THE ASIAN WALL STREET JOURNAL), “China’s First Web-Organized Protests”. Of course, it’s about the anti-japan protests over China in last several weeks:
> From an organizational point of view, the Shanghai
> demonstration was a decentralized, bottom-up event, organized by
> taking advantage of the opportunities presented by digital
> communication technologies. Chinese authorities may have initially
> given the demonstrators some political space because it wanted to let
> out some of the virulent nationalistic steam. They may also have used
> this demonstration of Chinese “public opinion” as a lever to support
> Beijing’s diplomatic goal of opposing Japan’s bid for a seat on United
> Nations Security Council.
> But whatever political space the anti-Japan activists were
> initially given, the success of their technology-enabled protests now
> poses a serious challenge to the Chinese authorities’ traditional

Just in these two days, China gov tighten the control of internet to prevent from any callings on new protest. Yesterday, the spokesman of Minisry of Public Security warned that any online organizing or gossip on gathering are illegal. The official voices in these two days are mainly one point: all the people should keep stable as the first priority thing. It means that gov is worrying about the protest could evolve into anti-gov movement.
That’s the myth in today’s China. Gov wants to use civilian’s protest to presssure on JP gov. They will also control the information to expose those only supportive to their policy and censor other opinions. Definitely, all the official media has been tamed to one tune already. They are trying a lot to do the same thing in cyberspace even with many so shortsight tricks. Anyway, it’s obvious a mission impossible today, there rasied more reactions already in blogosphere(BBSs are totally controlled in these days), can be summaried into four types:
1. We common people can do nothing now, but only rely on gov
2. The gov is usefulless in solving the problem, they will eventually comprise and sacrifice people’s benefit to keep their regime
3. The gov can do only limited things to reach real mutual understanding, the gap between people in the two countried will widen unavoidably
4. We won’t trust the gov anymore, not just for this issue, many issues in this country are connected
