Let me just add that a truly FLOSS and P2P Twitter replacement, Twister, got a huge number of new Chinese-speaking users during the last few days. Tags #occupycentral and #hkclassboycott are really active as far as what could be expected from a beta you have to compile yourself. https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core http://twister.net.co/ You can search Twister from outside with this (warning: code unavailable, it's a 3rd-party service, might eat your dog, etc): https://twisterio.com/ Examples: https://twisterio.com/search?kw=hkclassboycott https://twisterio.com/search?kw=occupycentral -- Pozdr rysiek
