From a wire service story:
The community college has blocked the site in response to complaints about sluggish Internet speed on campus computers.
An investigation found that heavy traffic at MySpace.com was eating up too much bandwidth, said August Alfonso, the school’s chief of information and technology. Forty percent of daily Internet traffic at the college involved the site, he said.
“This was more about us being able to offer Web-based instruction, and MySpace.com was slowing everything down,” President Carlos Garcia said.
I think after my exam tomorrow, I may have to spend a bit more time checking out MySpace. I’ve written before that I just don’t get the place from my brief visits there. Hopefully an afternoon of exploratin will enlighten me.
Or, I could just go ahead and start admitting that I’m getting old and don’t understand these young people today.
