Inblogs

I was checking up on some of my keyword positions in a couple search engines tonight, and I freaked out over nothing, but it's something I thought was worth sharing with some of ya'll who might accidentally think the same thing I did. Have you heard of Inblogs? I hadn't before tonight, so it freaked me out when I saw one of my posts pop up in a search engine with the address www.inblogs.net/informalcritique. My first thought was someone had stolen my posts, but when I clicked the link it took me straight to my blog. Okay, something going on here?

Nope!

I started looking into Inblogs, and it's an Access Portal to access Blogspot addresses from countries where Blogspot is banned such as Iran, India, Pakistan, and China. Most of these countries don't allow the same type of free speech we do here in America. Many types of websites are blocked to prevent people from retrieving information the government doesn't want them to see. With websites like Inblogs these people can access information and make decisions for themselves. Is Inblogs illegal? I don't think so, but I can't exactly tell you that I'm 100% certain of that. I guess it really depends on which country you live in, but I think everyone should have the same right to freedom of speech no matter where they live.
