Still, when I really need to get something done, I suddenly get more focused.

Will bookmark the tool though, might be useful though, since sometimes I can’t keep from wasting time on all kinds of sites.

ways to circumvent the tool; it would be trivial to just switch to Firefox, for example.

Firefox has equivalent tool called Leechblock

However, there’s so many alternative methods to access facebook. for example I use my iPhone constantly but I personally find the blocking tools effective as a ‘nagging tool’. It keeps me stay away from SNS by reminding me that I’m not suppose to do facebooking at certain time.
