How to access wikipedia or any other sites during blackout or when blocked.
Posted on | January 18, 2012 | No Comments
Wikipedia has decided to black out its english language version in protest of SOPA and PIPA.
But you got a homework to do and don’t know where to get the information?
Google to the rescue.
Search for the term in Google and hover over the arrows that appear on the result when you hover you mouse over it. (click on the image to see the example)
And click on cache to view the site. Please note that the site content might be different from what it is now as the Google cache data would be several days old. So, you might not get the necessary results if you are trying to find information related to current affairs.
Here is the link to the cached version of wikipedia page Paleontology. In this case, the cache data is just one day old, i.e of 17 January, 2012.
You can use the same trick for other content sites when they are down for maintenance or would be blacking out today like Reddit.com.
