AccMan TalkBack: Bizarre blocking behaviour

Andy Piper · 2 years ago

Thanks for the linkage, Dennis. Of course I do carry a 3G card so I'm not entirely subject to the network access whims of the organisations I engage with... but it doesn't help when I'm recommending blogs and sites to the folks I go to work with, and their own access is restricted...
Dennis Howlett · 2 years ago

Silly me - but you're absolutely right. All a bit pointless if some IT idiot refuses to allow access. How do you overcome that one? I can only assume it's a case of getting far enough up the food chain so that someone wields a cluestick.

Dennis, This very much reminds me of the debates (c 1997) at the time companies were becoming aware of the Web ('Web 1.0') and trying to decide whether to allow employees access, and to what extent. Eventually most companies allowed pretty-much full access, judging that the benefits outweighed the risks. Now we're coming full circle. Perhaps that's another reason for calling this 'Web 2.0'.
