GFW: Technorati blocked

The Great Firewall of China has blocked Technorati. It would appear that Technorati will no longer be available to anyone to use in China.

Julien Pain (RSF Internet Desk) pointed to an alert at Tom Raftery's IT Views. Shanghai-based Issac Mao tested and confirmed it. So did Global Voices.

One question: Getting blocked by the GFW, does it mean Technorati isn’t censoring search results into China the way Google, Microsoft-MSN and Yahoo are?

Now that Technorati is blocked, what is Technorati's China strategy in order to penetrate the Chinese market, if not in revenue, at least in reach and influence?
