The Blog Block

MSNIts difficult to ignore a phenomenon...Comeonguys..How many of us like to be left behind when the rest of the world choose to do something really cool. Blogspot caught on exceptionally well among bloggers than other blog sites like Yahoo blog or the MSN alternative however, recent situations like the Mumbai blasts have been a perfect reality check for the "follow the herd" group.

Its been almost a week that I havent had a chance to see my blog. Though an occasional blogger, I like to see my baby everyday atleast a couple of times. With the Indian government deciding to come down heavily on blog sites for fear of spreading communal discord "blogspot" was the first and obvious choice to be axed. I'm still a tad surpriised at the inconsistencies in implementing the ban on blogs. I am unable to access my blog when I use a reliance broadband connection however, my page pops up just fine when I use my airtel connection.

Its high time that Indian's start doing things keeping the ultimate result or goal to be achieved in mind. I really dont understand the use of some ISP's blocking blogsites while some others allowing them.
