I totally agree with your last paragraph. It seems that large organizations choose to block sites when they could just as easily monitor and report on usage. Then usage becomes a conversation between manager and employee, allowing middle management to actually manage… there's a concept.
Chris – agreed. I remember in 1994 or 5 I had to get a form signed so I could have Internet access at work. It's 2009. If employers won't let employees have access, they'll use their own devices – taking time and effort to do so.
