last.fm and twitter unblocked

After what? over an entire year or two the TRA or Etisalat has finally managed to unblock both twitter and www.last.fm...

Well at least partly, you can't actually view people's profiles on last.fm, which kind of defies the whole point of the site.

Unfortunately, Flickr still remains completely blocked through Etisalat.

This follows a recent instruction by the TRA to unblock 1000 websites in the UAE, the list has not been made public yet.
