There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Nick Feamster, Santosh Vempala and grad student Sam Burnett (CS) have created a new tool that allows users to send messages through heavily censored networks by embedding them in user-generated content, such as Flickr photos or Tweets. Source: Network World
