Hello all,

Our TI manager wants to know exactly which websites Websense have included in the "Social Networking" categories. I went to Websense website but it seems the information is hard to find.

Maybe someone could help.

Many thanks,

Adrian

I can think of a few, but the entire list will never be publicized.

This was a major pain point when we moved to Websense because they classify sites somewhat differently than our previous product. I understand the lists are a competitive issue and cannot be disclosed but Websense is far more aggressive than our previous product.

Many, many industry-specific blogs are being classified as "social networking" and even LinkedIn has multiple classifications. While LinkedIn is "social networking", responding to an invitation in LinkedIn gets blocked because it's classified as "organizational email." <sigh>
