I'm at work and my company's network blocks Social Networking sites. Is this a joke? Does it really allow you to login in Facebook?

Yes. It is the most prominent method of joining that they display on the landing page. This is real.

Edit: Granted, they relaunched it as a social gaming site, so that signup method makes a bit more sense.

They probably get paid to implement Facebook connect on their million+ userbases though. So it may make more sense that way. Although to be fair allowing access to 750m (fb) users is a sensible enough argument.

For a second, I thought you were asking if your company's policy was a joke.

Spoiler alert: yes, but it's not funny.

How come they don't block friendster?
They do block Friendster. I could only read the comments, I couldn't follow the link...
