Yep, blocked at my work too, almost everything is.
Still, can use my mobile for Facebook, doesn't interest me tho, no need to check FB at work..... tho I have done it in my lunch break once, waste of a couple of mins.
I've only a couple days ago rejoined Facebook after a 6 month hiatus.
Didn't miss much... if anything, other than chatting to a few friends that live OS.
Wrong.....
What happens on the imaging field stays on the imaging field. LOLOL
Personally I don't give a rat's about it.
So long as they're not making money off of it, or like Chris said, making out I support something I don't.
To give some explanation to my statement (What goes on tour, stays on tour no longer applies):
A friend is a partner of a well known accounting firm. He has no interest in Facebook, but has been advised to get an account to see what his employees are posting. He's confident that they're not divulging confidential client information, but when photos of their weekend exploits are posted, it potentially impacts their professional reputation.
The other side of the coin is maybe the clients should know about their weekend exploits?? However, I think people are entitled to do what they want away from work, as long as they still perform at work. There is also the issue of photos being taken out of context.
A friend works in HR/recruiting. They told me that it's (at least was) common practice to check out potential job applicant's spacebook and myface pages to see what kind of riff raff they hung out with.
I don't have an account, but, my understanding is that now with the privacy features, randoms can't check your page unless you have a public option? No idea.

I created an account purely so no-one can create one in my name.

My work also blocks most things. This includes babelfish stating that it is an anonymising site. This is frustrating where as having FB blocked is no problem.
I am interested to hear what people think of having their photo all over the internet on places like Facebook etc.
Should people who take photographs of events, family, wedding, sporting, party, whatever... ask the permission of each recognisable person in a given photo, before putting it on the internet?
How do YOU feel about having YOUR melon posted about willy-nilly without your say-so?
Well for starters, I'd have to allow someone to take a pic of me for this to happen. I've never had it happen, but I can imagine my reaction if I saw a complete stranger taking a pic of me in the street - I'd be wanting to know why, & what is the intent.
As for family & friends of mine doing it, I think it would pay to ask for permission first
Generally speaking though, It's polite to ask first.

I also know of someone who works in that sort of field too - they told me of a crafty way to get access to someone's Facebook page. Often those who are willing to "defraud" their employer are also a bit lax about who they recognise as a friend on facebook. I'm not going to divulge their methods, but it was extremely simple!
Don't put anything on the internet (image wize) that you aren't prepared to share or have others share without asking. If on Facebook , and you want to keep it private - well good luck on that - all it takes is for one person who you've "friended" to take a fancy to your photo/s and they no longer under your control.
If you want Facebook to take action on your behalf after making a report - good luck on that too and don't hold your breath on them doing anything.
On another note I find it pretty weird that in the guise of potential employment or company reputations that people are able to convince others that spying on others without there knowing is somehow acceptable. Sure if theres some clear need to ( probable theft etc)
but in every case I see mentioned its more about looking because they can, not because they need to.
