Are Blogs Banned By Citadel?

O

Is Citadel banning certain blogs from being received or viewed on company servers? Word is ... they are. Anybody know why?
 
perhaps a guess....
they'd rather their employees concentrate on their jobs they are paying them for rather than spending on the clock time surfing blogs...
 
And by no means is this new. A lot of companies, both radio and non-radio, do this all for the same reason Steve mentioned.

Have heard lately that some blogs have been blocked from Citadel servers, but not all blogs. Wonder why selectively?
 
Blogs are not blocked. Some web sites that offer personal email, like yahoo , msn and google are not accessable because of potential problems from virus. Only the email pages, not yahoo, msn home pages
 
My employer (not part of the broadcast industry) uses Websense filtering, and about a week ago blogspot.com blogs became unreachable; they were described as falling into the banned category of "personal or social networking sites." I don't know if this particular block is being applied all over, but I did notice that over the weekend at least one major political blog, without fanfare, had turned its Blogspot address into a redirect to a domain of its own.
 
My day job isn't in the broadcasting biz anymore, either, and my employer blocks this site. Oh crap...it's 8:30...I better stop surfing and get to work ;-)

Bottom line: it happens, and coming from a guy with an IT background, the IT department has the ability to track every single bit that flows to and from your computer. So think twice about posting the "my company sucks" comments from computers that are connected to the company network.

There are only 10 types of people in the world - Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Precisely! Chances are if you work with any computer at any job, your actions are being monitored.
