Those
considering the below may want to consult your workplace's IT policies before
proceeding.  Places that are blocking Facebook (et al), probably also have
a policy that says that you can be terminated for circumventing such blocking.
Those in that situation would be better by either
visiting the sites at home (as one previous message indicated) or by trying to
get the "powers that be" to change, perhaps by citing how social
networking websites have been used successfully.  You can look at the
Facebook group "Online Social Networking Applications for Planners"
for some ideas, and I apologize for providing another Facebook reference for
those that can't view it at work.

There are a lot of tools to break such
censor/block and protect user identity. Such tools have been used in Iran, etc (Now your working place is like Iran :) You can
find it on Google or use 
http://torproject.org
If you use such tools, do not use for banking or
paypal account. Because your location and identity cannot be confirmed and
paypal thought you are a hacker and disable you account.

I have the same issue you do, therefore I send all
of these “social network” messages to my personal address, although I believe
that my colleagues miss out on some opportunities to learn.  Our state DOT
sometimes publishes projects’ simulations on YouTube and I have to look at them
at home.  I can understand that some agencies may fear abuse by employees,
but I don’t believe they have actually pondered the disadvantages of blocking
such sites.

I'd be curious to know how many agencies cannot
take advantage of this due to social network blockage by I.T. policies. I, for
one, cannot access any Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, or any other
social networking pages. That being said, we cannot create and/or take
advantage of those same technologies, particularly as an avenue for Public
Participation.
