Google block me...
Today, I was just starting my RSS Feeds Reader (Feeddemon, in case anyone is wondering) as updating my usual news feeds when I noticed some of them cannot be updated, even after repeated refreshes. At first I thought the website was down, but going to the website itself seems to show no problems. Then finally when i clicked on the feed itself, I saw this message:



I don't think my computer has a virus, so the likely culprit is likely to be my RSS news reader Feeddemon sending out too many update requests at once. (maybe Google don't like competitors to their Google reader.:p )But then, the block is by IP address, so even Internet Explorer and Firefox cannot access that page anymore. Still, it is slightly disturbing that Google is blocking my access to a 3rd party website like Kotaku. Perhaps we are giving Google slightly too much leeway in controlling our access to the World Wide Web.

Google evil? Hardly...yet. Maybe they are just trying too hard. But as some say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Now gimme back my interwebs.
