Google is blocked, but sometimes typing the numeric address works. [216.239.39.100...]

Almost everybody's fed by Google, but [metacrawler.com...] is probably the best of the bunch. At least, if you're looking for LESSON PLANS it is. How can I teach without Google? Huh? Chinese textbooks?!

I would guess the CACHE feature got them in some trouble. That, plus nobody's using the Chinese search engines over here.

Other sites that are (unofficially) banned are Yahoogroups, Geocities, Tripod, Angelfire, and pretty much any new domain I've tried. (Temporarily on the new domains.) Last month, About was gone for a week. AltaVista's been blocked for a long time and nobody cared, but now it's "officially blocked."

Since information becomes obsolete quickly in this game, go to [proxysite.com...] and find some "proxy servers." The Govt can't block them fast enough. (Until they block proxysite.)

Cheers!
