StumbleUpon now accessible

Etisalat internet subscribers can now access the StumbleUpon website, which had been blocked by the local service provider just a few days ago.

Owned by eBay, StumbleUpon delivers specific content to users who click on a ‘Stumble!' button on their browser toolbar. Pages are selected for display based on user's ratings of previous pages, ratings by his or her friends and by the ratings of users with similar interests.

Du customers had reported no access limitations to the website.

What about other sites?
Posted by Asmaa, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday 16 July 2008 at 13:42 UAE time

Twitter and Digg profile pages along with flickr have also been blocked without any specific reason. Being a graphic designer these are the basic sites i need! Is Etisalat going to do anything about that?

Editor's Reply: We have requested an explanation from Etisalat as to why these sites are blocked by them and not by du, and are waiting for their reply.
