Webfilters! They are quite annoying especially when you have to do research on a potentially controversial topic in school. Or I guess if you just want to play games, or in some instances, browse this website (it’s blocked at my school for being a “social networking / personal site” or something similar). Interestingly enough, pixiv is blocked at my school, yet Twitter isn’t. How the heck does that even happen?

I guess everyone at school uses Facebook or MySpace or something, so there probably aren’t many people going on Twitter. But I’m sure even less people at school go on pixiv (or even know what it is), so I’m surprised it’s blocked. Anyway, yeah. The daily flash itself isn’t that great, but it does serve as a conversation tool! The topic of discussion is your experience with webfilters! Go!

In related news, I totally made up that “Weblock” thing and the logo, and I thought it was clever because it can be “lock” or “block”! But unsurprisingly, weblock turns out to be a real thing. Maybe not exactly a webfilter, but similar.
