Twitterers around China are reporting that the popular micro-blogging site Twitter.com appears to be blocked, the first time the site has been widely inaccessible to users in the country.
Twitter users began reporting difficulty getting on the site late on Tuesday afternoon in China, just days ahead of the sensitive 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Twitterers access was still possible through some Twitter clients, such as Tweetdeck, but users trying to access their accounts through other clients, such as Twhirl, said they also encountered problems.
