Talk about Twitter in China these days! First it went down in early June (password here had something to do with Tian’anmen), then it went down right after Urumqi shook with riots. Now Twitter itself has been compromised with denial-of-service attacks, and just lately all passwords have been reset.

Here’s how sorry the situation has gotten as of late:

• In all of this: Twitter (as in the twitter.com site) has been blocked in China.
• Late Thursday: Access to iTweet, Hahlo and some other third-party Twitter sites became cumbersome.
• Early Friday: iTweet, Hahlo pretty much dead by mid-morning.
• Late Friday: PeopleBrowsr looking OK, but still very iffy. Ping.fm does not post all tweets going through.
• Very late Friday: Twitter working again via iTweet and Hahlo.
• Early Saturday: iTweet, Hahlo working again.
• 09:49 Saturday morning: Twitter sends password resets, access to iTweet and Hahlo die again.

We’re pointing a finger at Twitter directly. Politically speaking, if you could save Iran, why not save China?

Thanks to @POPOEVER, @daygan and others for helping your tweeter out through all this.
