Despite Microsoft earmarking $100 million to market their new Bing search offering, neither this nor Live Search is available to me in China.

In fact, a fairly large chunk of the internet seems to be down.

The New York Times appears to offer this explanation.

Of course, I couldn't possibly comment. I am on a fixed IP address and there may be a knock on my door late at night.

Twitter I can live without (yes, that's gone too, but why block Live Search when we have Google?)

And in case anyone is wondering, you can search for a certain Square on Google here, and lots of relevant news results come up.

 

 

 

Hang on, there's someone at the door...
