Yeah, I don't know off of the top of my head. Never been on FB, MySpace, LinkedIn, blah, blah, blah. Or, never had to deal with filtering them at %work%.

I'm willing to bet that everyone using Farmville doesn't have to browse to farmville.facebook.com, or a page with the game title in the URL. Even if it did that would mean using a sort of "blacklist" of game names that would have to be continually updated.

We have just been told that for some reason all employees are to be allowed unrestricted access to social networking sites, but obviously the management want to know whether users are taking a lend, and spending all day on FarmVille or Bejewelled or looking at pictures of their mates instead of updating our customer base as to events and launches. There are a few Web 2.0 appliances that I have heard of that claim to be able to perform in-depth filtering of social networking and microblogging sites, but I was just wondering what other people who have had this issue may have deployed to get around this. We already have WebSense here, but it's not clever enough to differentiate between "business" and "leisure" usage of certain sites, at least certainly not the version we currently use.
