Turkey attempted to block Twitter by changing all of the twitter.com domain name queries to return incorrect, redirection IP destinations.

This isn't a block, per se, it only changes the DNS answers for the DNS servers that the Turkish government controls. Normally, your computer is given a DNS server to use to satisfy DNS queries (usually provided by your ISP). However, nothing stops you from issuing DNS requests to other servers. Google happens to host a free DNS service (8.8.8.8) that is free, and isn't beholden to the Turkish government. So, effectively, this is graffiti telling people to use Google DNS to get around the Turkish government's Twitter "block."

I thought it was cool.
