Cubicle life can require the occasional mental timeouts, and when brain fatigue hits, cyberslacking emerges as the best option to battle 9-to-5 boredom. Businesses caught on long ago to the time wasting habits of employees and began blocking certain websites in an effort to promote productivity.
Each year, DNS-resolution service OpenDNS tracks the most common websites blocked by companies and creates a top ten list of the results. So, without further ado, the ten websites most often blocked in 2010:
- MySpace
- YouTube
- Ad.doubleclick
- Hotmail
- Orkut
- Ad.yieldmanager
- Meebo
- eBay
