Ooohh finally!! it seems something is wrong with mylot, it's taking a lot of time to load. Ok som for your problem I had heard that due to some ethnic riots taking place in China, they have blocked internet access for Chinese people to certain sites. These include Twitter and Youtube so that I think they do not see any footage or read about them, probably not to be influenced. You may wish to see the following article which explains more in detail. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/167884/internet_twitter_blocked_in_china_city_after_ethnic_riot.html By the way my Facebook is working fine as are other sites. Only mylot has problems.

Oh, I see. Thanks a lot for your information. My god, how they can do that to us, I can't understand why. Because they can banned some certain sites but they can't ban the internet.

yes it seems they only ban social networking sites and others which may affect the current riot situation.

I've heard that it's the Chinese government's form of censorship, unfortunately. Hopefully they'll revoke the law soon so you can go on Facebook. It's truly a fun site. But don't forget.. You don't need Facebook to stay in touch with your friends & play games online! There are plenty of other sites you can use.

Yes, I can still use mylot. Haha, It's really a good place, I love it very much. What else website do you know? Can you introduce it, I am a chinese and I only know Xiaonei is a SNS website but it's Chinese. And I want to make some international friends. Is Orkut very popular? Happy mylotting and have a good time, Maezee.

It is working fine on my end..could be due to the riots in your country that your Government put restrictions on where you can go.

Oh, yes. You are right, but I just don't understand why the government do it in this way, they can ban facebook, they can ban youtube, they can ban bing but they can't ban the whole internet.

I think that maybe your goverment is blocking Facebook becase the way Facebok is being ueed by persons critaical to the goverment. I have read that social networking sites like facebook have been uses in some coutries as a way for disidets to commicate. so the Chinese gov maybe restrcing its use for that porpose.
