Best method is to use a proxy and enable java script. – blitzkriegz Aug 4 '09 at 6:48

I don't see anything against questions on how to circumvent censorship or other filtering. Sounds like a real superuser question to me. Would vote to reopen if I could. – wcoenen Aug 4 '09 at 12:53

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

Your best try is to use iGoogle. It allows you to use gadgets - mini applications - and lives on google.com domain which probably isn't blocked.

You didn't mention which social site you want to get to, but you can find iGoogle gadget for pretty much every popular site. Just google for it.

iGoogle gadgets probably send HTTP requests to the blocked servers. – Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski Aug 4 '09 at 7:32
Maybe not. Using iGoogle to access a blocked gmail is a common hack. I guess that gadgets communicate with iGoogle servers which communicate with target site. Probably to get around cross-site scripting browser policies. lifehacker.com/398924/… – tkramar Aug 4 '09 at 10:30
