The New York Times reported yesterday that in the wake of the bombings in Mumbai, the Indian government has effectively ordered ISPs to block a number of domains, including ”*.blogspot.com” (Blogger),”*.typepad.com”(Typepad) and ”geocities.com/*” (Yahoo! Geocities), citing that terrorists might use blogs to coordinate attacks. Yahoo! Groups has also been blocked.

Outraged Indian bloggers have resorted to using a wiki and Google groups in order to communicate with each other and track new developments.
