Yahoo is working fine for me within China. Altavista and Babelfish have definitely been hijacked and blocked for most of the day. When I enter URL's for Altavista or Babelfish in my Browser, I am immediately taken to Baidu (no lags or timeouts). At my website www.chinatattler.com, the Babelfish translation widget is not showing here in China as it normally does, which indiacates the Grate Firwall is working to block it or redirect. (Using a Proxy to visit my site, the Babelfish Widget still comes up.)
Seems like the chinese goverment are up to something how is it affecting me in South Africa though, and for people in the phillipines ive heard from aswell
hehe, well baidu must have someone in the chinese government for them to divert yahoo traffic to baidu for free
