26 August, 2008

Finally both www.twitter.com and www.last.fm have been unblocked by Etisalat.

If twitter had a UAE number to text tweets to (instead of the UK one currently) then this would be HUGE in Dubai what with people's mobile phone obsession.; 26 August, 2008 15:44

Hey DXBluey, which VPN do you use?; 26 August, 2008 19:16

They did not unblock last.fm totally yet, when you want to check your profile or library its still blocked...
Here's what i mean:

http://www.last.fm/user/[username]

or

http://www.last.fm/user/[username]/library/module

Side Note: when I told a friend that twitter was unblocked he said "Too late am hooked on Rejaw" lol..
