Is Tumblr Still Blocked In China?

Written on April 14, 2011 by in Blogging, Online

The reason why I moved our company’s blog from Tumblr to a self-hosted WordPress, it is because our contacts in China cannot view the site since it was blocked by The Great Firewall Of China. I also experienced it first hand when I went there last February. No Tumblr, No Twitter, and I’m pretty sure that there’s no Facebook as well. - Sorry I didn’t check Facebook since I’m not into FB that much.

But I’m beginning to get confused.. For no apparent reason, I tested Tumblr at greatfirewallofchina.org if it will pass. Surprisingly it passed! Check the image below:

Could someone help us verify this? Is Tumblr now permitted in China?

It will somehow feel awkward to have finally moved the blog, and then find out that the old blog is now allowable in China. :-) :-(

      Thanks for the update. China has moderated almost all of the social medias available these days. Not sure why. :(

      Hmm..I was suppose to transfer this blog to Tumblr to make my blogging easier. But this is the only hindrance for me. Thanks for the update, perhaps I’ll stay with my self-hosted WordPress for good. :)
