I’m trying a new WiFi venue today, here at the Panera Bread in Wayne, PA with Mari Silbey. She’s enjoying one of the comfy chairs while I have a small table nearby so I can prop up the Samsung Q1UP. I have my EV-DO card, but figured to just use the free WiFi which is working fine. Mostly.
A few times a day, I check our website statistics that are captured by Sitemeter. Now that I’ve settled in with a Cafe Mocha, I hit up Sitemeter in the browser and was greeted with the message; "This content is not authorized for viewing." Odd. Maybe Sitemeter is down? So I then turned the WiFi off on my iPhone and attempted to hit Sitemeter over the EDGE connection. Sure enough, I got through just fine.
Just for kicks, I went to some website that I would expect to be blocked by Panera. [I’ll save face right now without naming any aforementioned sites. And if I were to go these sites, it’s theoretically to read the articles, not to look at pictures.] Yup, they’re blocked too and I have no problem with that. But Sitemeter? C’mon Panera Bread… Ever have a similar situation over public WiFi with a "normal" site or is it just me?
