No one 'works' at facebook ;)

lol @ perisoft

They wouldn't have to resort to these kinds of measures if the workers weren't abusing their net privileges. There's nothing wrong with keeping the window open to check on it when you take a short work breather to collect your thoughts, but I suspect managers want it banned because more facebooking is going on than working. 

@brian, I'm sure all these network managers know many ways to block facebook, it's just a matter of them finding someone who's big enoough for them to hind behind when all the employee's/unions get all up in a heeby jeeby because they're not allowed onto these sites. As the article said many employee's expect freedom of access (to an extent) to the web at work nowadays.

Banning Facebook is simple.
Set your company DNS servers to Open DNS.
Use their services to ban Facebook and Proxy Servers.
Voila, no access to Facebook.
