Alternatives to facebook

marawdge

I was just wondering if anybody could suggest any alternatives to facebook? I didn;t realise there were so mant websites banned here and I'm getting withdrawals from regular interaction!

I would like to be able tokeep in tough with my family and friends from back home, and emails can be a bit time consuming and I would like to upload photos and videos from here.  As they dont speak chinese (anymore than I do) it would have to be an english language site. Even a blog site that they could comment on would be great!

please help, feeling a bit lonesome here!

Hello marawdge,

Expat-Blog.com could be the alternative. :D

Are you aware of web based proxy sites? It can be your solution!

whoever the moderator was - i wasn't advertising ; i am living in china; and i actually paid to use that service !

so whomever is interested in an easy 2 click solution to accessing all the blocked websites may perhaps PM the moderator.

maybe you can start a thread on what proxy works , what doesn't - as we all need it out here.

i've tried at least 4 already; and finally found one that works - and i just wanted to share:/

@Xenix, I use freedur but most of the time it is jammed, although they have over 10 IP's that you can switch from one to the other, but it happened that many times I couldn't log in to facebook, I asked them once why it is being jammed, they told me too many traffic........
and sometimes while I am on a proxy I can't open Chinese websites, so I have to switch it on and off all the time...... and it get's frustrating........ but.... this is one of the disadvantages in living in China hehe

Thanks to everyone for their reply.  My internet has been on the blink the last few weeks so i wasn't able to reply.

I have got a VPN thing... (obviously I need to brush up on my tech language!!) Thanks again everyone :)
