Facebook Blocked ? Use Email Instead

January 22, 2010 · Posted in Technology 

With hundreds of corporates now joining the bandwagon of blocking facebook to its employees many people are faced with a huge problem. I personally am totally against any kind of blocking or censoring as such as it amounts to controlling adults.
Now Back to the story … how can one now access facebook when its blocked.

Unless you have changed your settings to stop email notifications, it’s likely that you receive an email every time someone comments on your status updates, photos, videos and Wall posts. Before now, the email contained a link that you had to follow, which logged you into Facebook where you could reply. You’ll now notice that the email contains a line reading “New Feature: Reply to this email to comment on this link.”

Now, the site has made it possible for you to respond to these comments directly, by hitting the reply button. All you have to do is enter your response and hit send, and Facebook will add your comment to the site.In addition, one is also given a personalised facebook e-mail address to post status updates, and images onto his/her profile.

This is big news for all those Facebook junkies out there who can’t get their daytime fix while at work because of a company firewall, not to mention all the students who can’t check their Facebook for several hours every day. We’ll see where productivity levels go after this.
