    LOL.

    Rizzn.com is blocked from most educational institutions, I've found. When I turn on the laptop to get some work done while I wait to pick my kid up from school, it shows SiliconANGLE and rizzn.com both as blocked on their WiFi.

    Boy, just wait until Steven Hodson or Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins post some medical breakthrough, and the folks at the Mayo Clinic can't read it. They'll be really sorry then!

    I just read something that mentioned how many sites are blocking social media services such as Facebook and Twitter - I think the figure was somewhere around fifty percent. While some in the social media world dream on about how social media will transform civilization as we know it, the reality is that a bunch of organizations are really afraid of Facebook quizzes and cranky observations.

    But will these closed environments result in a lack of innovation as people are blocked from in-depth technical conversations AND LOLcats? The jury's out.
