MyAnswers: Blocking sites such as Facebook.com, MySpace.com and Twitter.com.

Every business knows the internet is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it offers so many great facilities such as email and browsing to gather information, but it can be a curse if people spend too long on sites. In particular social networking sites are becoming a real issue during working hours.

Recently a client requested a number of sites to be blocked. In the past I've used a security router, but this client didn't have the required equipment. I decided to use a trick I learnt some years ago from a virus I eradicated.

By creating a relatively straight forward text file with the sites to be blocked, it is possible to block sites and reduce the issue of social networking sites for small business owners. There is no additional equipment to buy and the change is relatively easy to implement.

If social networking sites are causing your business a problem, check out MyAnswers solution 1928. You can find MyAnswers at JustLocal, or you can use this link.
