[OPLINTECH] Block MySpace?

[Josh Proffit]

Do any libraries out there filter out or block MySpace? I ask because for one, it really consumes a huge amount of bandwidth with all the streaming audio and whatnot. Also it has a tendency to generate tech calls with patrons wanting help on uploading pictures or scanning pictures then uploading them to their pages, or even the occasional “help I cannot get into my MySpace email account” kind of scenarios. Don’t get me wrong, we love helping out our patrons but sometimes it seems to get a little ridiculous with the kind of help that is being asked for and perhaps it is just me but it seems to come in waves.  :-) I’d love to hear any feedback on this. As always, please be brutally honest in your opinions and advice.  Thanks!!
