Google Buzz and China

Well Google Buzz has been up for a couple of days now, and already it's seen huge takeup. Media are reporting that 9/10 million "buzzes" have already been made.

Some Blogs here and here for example, have been pointing out that it's only a matter of time before China puts Google Buzz (GBuzz?) behind the GFW (Great Firewall of China.).

Many discussions on this are taking place all over the Chinese net. In a Google group on Douban for example http://www.douban.com/group/google/discussion Chinese netizens are already discussing how to get around the inevitable block.

What will happen? Time will tell I guess, but we'll certainly be following developments with interest.
