Twitter?

Same here. We block all social networking and we are just a small place in a rural area. Most organizations block that stuff for a number of reasons.

If I suspect something is going on with VOIPo I first check here, then DSL Reports. Sometimes the VOIPo website is down too, so that is why they started using twitter. I never check twitter unless something is posted at DSLR that says to check twitter...

I won't subscribe to twitter because I have no use for it, but I will put the VOIPo twitter page in my favorites to have a quick look if I think something is wrong. If I'm at work, I'll never know what is going on because twitter is blocked.

For those of us for whom social networking is blocked, there are only so many
options. Plus internet usage is monitored, so I minimize my usage of both non-business calls and internet.

Just tell them you're downloading service packs and patches for some Microsoft product. They release them every day.

I don't think I'd survive in a company that was "big brother"ing me. Not that I abuse the system, but all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Mine, with 45K employees, and doing security work, really doesn't want a tenth of one percent of bozos fanning out viruses or showing up on stupid services with a company-attributed IP address. They use websense too, but don't block legitimate web sites, where legitimate is defined by websense.
I need my paycheck, and there's a zero tolerance policy.

Not really big brothering. I love the company I work for and for professional reasons prefer not to mix business with pleasure. I've seen how easily it is for me to get distracted and hence like to minimize my non-business use of the Internet at work. If VOIPo doesn't work during the day and I have an upset wife I try to minimize my Internet access to seek information.

It seems that more than one VoIP companies put their customer-facing web sites in the same hosting center that they use for backbone Internet access.

Not a good idea, due to single point of failure and lose even a billboard for network restoration status.
