Flexamail, Access Social Network from Your Email… for China?
After Egypt incident, Flexamail kicks in as a service provider that allows people to access their favorite social network directly from email. Their API access your Facebook or Twitter and can pull recent updates or tweets. Although you do need to find a way to authorize the accounts first before you can do this, I’ve tested it and it’s pretty handy. Once you’ve set it, its not necessary for you to logon to Flexamail, the emails are delivered straight to your personal inbox of your choice. Flexamail is just a medium or bridge between your errr… Internet Freedom and your inbox.
You will also get an instruction manual via email on the different email address and function, best to save these into your address book as they are quite long. You can basically do image hosting, retrieve file up to 25 MB, browse website (its done by saving the website in a pdf format, Facebook and Twitter - follow, search, reply to a tweet, send photos, etc. You can learn more here, currently it is free (I suspect they are getting fund through advertising, hey somebody got to pay the bills right).
This can be the answer for China and a way around the Great Firewall, as it is difficult to block email servers… but then again we may never know. Let me know if anyone has been using this constantly from China? I don’t use it a lot, as I found it tiring after a while sending those emails and waiting for a reply and then having to send another reply… simply put quite a lot of emails exchange.
