China blocked Technorati, the once thrice once-funded blog search leader, today. The company says it's getting reports of this and that it's investigating; no further comment about their plan of action, their attitude toward the Chinese market, or what the VCs think about getting banned before getting bought (they think it's brilliantly precocious, right?).

But they pretty much confirm the story — and based on report after report, this is no rumor.

For more news, read, um, Technorati. (Unless you're in China, in which case, why isn't Gawker Media blocked yet?)
