Blocked !!

hey all ,

Today i woke up and i was in the mood of reading other blogs .. it bothered me that i couldnt view the pictures they were posting .. i thought it may be my connection it is very slow so the picture loading time was time-out every time ,,

so i tried one picture by taking its url ( i.e http:// ) and guess what i found !!

our biggest source of uploading pictures is blocked by Oman Tel !!!!!
which is photo.blogger.com the same engine that is used by Hello ( picasa )
yes there are millions of pictures uploading site in the net !! but that one was so speciall gives you alot of options !!

plus we will not enjoy the reading of others blogs with no pictures : (((

Oman Tel .. Yes I hate you ...

i thought about sending an e-mail to them .. i dont know if they do actally read the e-mails .. i really doubt it ..

am really sad about that cause am really agaisnt using proxy for surfing on the net .. but i think oman tel leave you really with few other choices other than proxies ..

Very strange that they would block the photos and not the rest of the blogger sites.

UAE just blocked Flickr.com due to the "nudity" that was available there and now this.

Thanks about Kuwaitblogs, just doing what I can for the community, but is really the Kuwait bloggers that deserve the credit for posting on a regular basis.

My friend says in UAE they also ban photos, but unblocked Flickr. Does Oman internet come from UAE that could be a reason for it.
