Does your company block social media sites?
Many companies believe that giving access to social networking sites impacts productivity of an employee. This has led to many companies blocking access to the social networks. Some employees believe that accessing social networking sites is like taking a coffee break.

Companies have a right to block the sites during working hours. Whether it offers any real value is another discussion.
As far as smart phones are concerned, If a person wants to bypass security to access certain sites, I'm sure he/she will find a way. Such is human nature. The only answer is for companies to be vigilant and put into place mechanisms to punish the violators.
In the era of smart phones do you think companies are successful in blocking these sites?
No, they didn't.. but there is always a way out!
Most companies can benefit from social media use in the office – it's just about setting reasonable limits and making the technology work for you rather than against you.
yes, my company has blocked the social sites, we can't access facebook, twitter and even they did'nt give us acccess to open gmail, so i am using my own laptop with my own broadband modem. Cheers :)
Back home it would be almost impossible to find a company who did not block the likes of Facebook, Twitter etc. Everyone just accessed it via their phones instead!
Nothing is blocked here though although I choose not to use these sites in work (especially as I have only been here three weeks!) I just stick to checking on my mobile!
Sites like this one have never been a problem getting onto in my various office locations.
Hotspot shield ----> look it up =)
but we always find ways how to access it. :-)
I have worked for three different large enterprises, social media websites are blocked in all
If it did I wouldn't be posting here now Would I????
