Does Your Company Bans Blog Sites?

Filed in: Malaysia, Site News, Weblog — March 22nd, 2006

 

One of my readers, gbyeow (Boredworkers.com), found that his company’s IT department is banning employees from accessing LiewCF.com.

I was browsing Blogtal.com’s ping listing yesterday when I tried to click through to an article at LiewCF’s site about slacking off and working smart. The result was quite unexpected.

My office proxy returned a ’site prohibited’ message. I thought that perhaps it was the keyword combination “slacking off work” that was causing the reject so I tried accessing the domain www.liewcf.com to see what happens. Same results.

LiewCF.com Prohibited

My two cents

That’s interesting. I laughed out loud when I was reading the post. I always thought that my website is rated as a “child safe” site. :D

Now, I am curious to know which other companies ban my blog, or those who also ban other weblogs? And, the reason of bans.
