    Mah...shut them down.

    People are spending money too much on gambling and some of those sites should be shut down, but what I do have problems with is that Feds are messing around with the sites like that.
    Sure they catch criminals but what it also tell me that Internet is going to be ruled by government big time...
    Soon enough you will have 5912813 laws to follow in order to comply what can you host, write, or register as domain name..

    Freedom? What Freedom?

    Lost in Empire

    I don't know about you guys but have you ever really worked?

    I agree with above statements that blocking sites like this have much less harm of productivity. But I disagree with those that misuse the time.

    So what above comments are stating that an employee who browse social networks over 3/4 of his work time or 1/2 of his work time is still as productive as someone that does 4/4?

    Working 9 hours and being paid 8 and have 1hour lunch or fun time is productive. But working 8 hours , browsing 2 hours and have 1 hour of lunch is employee that needs to be shot in the head for calling it work. ANd on top of that their IT+ Management suck.

    Work is work ...tweeting and updating status updates every 2 minutes isn't productive and you can't prove me wrong...

    So is the UK deal real? I think so , problem is they are not as sensative on NPI and workload as in United States ...Websense is installed in majority of companies but I don't blame you for not working at big corps :) I know 40 of them at least including Colleges.

    So what is it now?

    Ok you are saying "More Problems With The FTC's New Disclosure Rules: Free Speech And Liability Problems" and

    Businessweek is writing about "FTC: Actually, We Don't Really Mean That Stuff About $11,000 Non-Disclosure Fines"

    WTH?

    Social Network Strategist

    Duno man but have you worked at any IT companies, and they allowed you to access Social Networks such as MySPace? Now imagine WH having access to all kind of social networks...you really think employees wouldn't tweet "Checkout our new rug" or "Look Obama just passed by with holding Cigar in his hand"

    Come on seriously! its WH not Best Buy!

    So True

    I totally agree, whatever google opened and made copy of it, that failed. Orkut is still arount but not many people know about. I am sure Knol is going to be going down too! (copy of wiki)

    Well yes this above is true you get more views etc, but with full feeds you also get a lot of scrappers that duplicate your content.

    I had that happen to me, some guy opened blog and just grabed my feeds , checking out that he had at some keywords better ranking than i did!
