LinkedIn Corp., operator of the largest networking site for professionals, became accessible again in Beijing after a disruption of more than 24 hours.
Service to the site resumed some time before 8 p.m. Beijing time, according to Bill Bishop, an independent media consultant and internet user in the nation’s capital. The service was blocked as “part of a broader effort in China going on right now, involving other sites as well,” Hani Durzy, a spokesman for Mountain View, California-based LinkedIn, said in an e-mail earlier today.
