Politics has infiltrated the web again, with the blogger at the centre of attacks which brought down Twitter, Facebook and Google blaming Russia for going to amazing lengths to censor his musings on the Georgian conflict.

"Cyxymu" - which stands for the capital of the oppressed Georgian Abkhazia region from which he hails - has profiles on micro-blogging website Twitter, social networking website Facebook and Google's open LiveJournal blogging solution.

He blogs about all that is going on in Georgia, and among his writings is an open letter to the Russian President.

"Cyxymu", who says his real name is Giorgi, was the subject of the attacks that saw the websites he uses go down - in Twitter's case for over 1 hour!

Of course, he feels the Russian government is behind these attacks.
