La Chiringa later reported that the Redsocial URL had changed from http://facebook.ismm.edu.cu to http://neko.uclv.edu.cu/index.php/, but both were broken when I tried to follow them.
The site tag line is "A virtual meeting place for Cuban universities," which sounds more like Facebook 1.0 than today's Facebook. ISMM is a school of mining, geology and metalurgy and UCLV the Central University of Las Villas, indicating that this is a university oriented site.
I tried pinging ISMM and UCLV. ISMM is not pingable, but, from my computer, UCLV has an average ping time of just over 1.8 seconds, so it is clearly not connected to the ALBA cable.
Has anyone seen Redsocial?
(The Huffington Post also covered the story).
There is a network between cuban universities. The adressess in this network are private in the 10.0.0.0/8 range. The services with public visibility (public addresses) are tightly controled and monitored by the universities administrations so this is just "a project" with very limited visibility and public.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification. It is a non-routable, local area network.
