Web 2.0 & Hospital IT Departments

Mark Funk has put up an interesting post about hospital IT departments blocking Web 2.0 technologies. This follows on the back of a post by the Krafty Librarian who can't access YouTube and therefore a video for one of the doctors at her organisation.

How many of you have this problem and can't access Web 2.0 technologies? Share your stories using the comments botton.

EBLIP Vol 2, No 3 (2007) now available
