Thousands of programmers on Weibo submitted their plea to miit.gov.cn website for relieving github. Guess it worked.

I call this new kind of ShangFang, it won't be long till this channel gets flooded.

I might have been to quick to rejoice. Github acces seams to be going on and off.

If you go on http://viewdns.info/chinesefirewall/?domain=github.com and refresh page few times, you will get different status in different places.
