Accessing Twitter from China via Linkedin (Proxy/VPN not required).

Accessing Twitter from China via VPN or proxy takes forever, so recently I discovered a way to get around it by accident. This happened while I was tinkering with my Linkedin account, and discovered that Linkedin’s twitter plugin “Tweets” will allow you to access Twitter direct from China sans proxy/VPN.

This is pretty cool, as now I’ve got two social networks in one interface, without the need for s…l…o…w VPN access. All I need now is a Facebook plugin and I’ll be back in SNS heaven with Linkedin cutting a hole through China’s great firewall.

So... much... spam...
