Too bad Twitter can't put a server at 140.140.140.140

I know you're joking because of the twitter 140 character limit but accessing twitter directly by IP address won't help much. The govt can easily block a specific IP. So knowing the IP helps when DNS is down but, in the long run, it's not too helpful when someone is trying to block a site.

Recently, people were getting around the ban by switching to Google's DNS. http://jussiparikka.net/2014/03/21/google-dns-freedom-fight-... So it would have helped for a while anyway.

They have already switched to IP blocking so the only option you have is proxy or VPN
