SpongeBob Legends Of Bikini Bottom. In an interesting partnership Nickelodeon. Has teamed up with Facebook and aired tonight’s brand new episode of everyone’s favorite Sponge Bob.Although premiered on television for the first time tonight on Nickelodeon, the first episode of a five part series called Legends Of Bikini Bottom.

Premiered on the social networking site last night. Guest stars include Amy Sedaris Ma Angler who plays the leader of the clan of trench billies and Ginnifer Goodwin as Mermaid. The clan hold Sponge Bob and his buddy Patrick captive while they are out jelly fishing one day.


This was big news in our household. At 8pm, the kids sat awaiting the new episode. In case they missed it, they set it to record on DVR earlier today. A new Sponge Bob episode is big news in our home, and apparently in a lot of other places. While the show is funny really funny I didn’t realize how much it appealed to the older kids, but it must if Facebook got the first glimpse. Surely they don’t think that 5 or 6 year old have Facebook accounts.

Egypt Leaves the Internet

Egypt Leaves the Internet. Confirming what a few have reported this evening in an action unprecedented in Internet history the Egyptian government appears to have ordered service providers to shut down all international connections to the internet. Critical European Asian fiberoptic routes through Egypt appear to be unaffected for now. But every Egyptian provider every business bank Internet cafe website, school embassy and government office that relied on the big four Egyptian ISPs for their Internet connectivity is now cut off from the rest of the world. Link Egypt, Vodafon Raya Telecom Egypt Etisalat Misr and all their customers and partners are for the moment.

Renesys observed the virtually simultaneous withdrawal of all routes to Egyptian networks in the Internet global routing table. Approximately 3,500 individual BGP routes were withdrawn, leaving no valid paths by which the rest of the world could continue to exchange Internet traffic with Egypt's service providers.

All of Egypt's Internet addresses are now unreachable worldwide. This is a completely different situation from the modest Internet manipulation that took place in Tunisia where specific routes were blocke or Iran, where the Internet stayed up in a rate limited form designed to make Internet connectivity painfully slow. The Egyptian government's actions tonight have essentially wiped their country from the global map.


What happens when you disconnect a modern economy and 80,000,000 people from the Internet. What will happen tomorrow on the streets and in the credit markets? This has never happened before, and the unknowns are piling up. We will continue to dig into the event, and will update this story as we learn more. As Friday dawns in Cairo under this unprecedented communications blackout, keep the Egyptian people in your thoughts.

One of the very few exceptions to this block has been Noor Group AS20928,which still has 83 out of 83 live routes to its Egyptian customers with inbound transit from Telecom Italia as usual. Why was Noor Group apparently unaffected by the countrywide takedown order. Unknown at this point, but we observe that the Egyptian Stock Exchange.
