    Let's make a list... :D My company has blocked many, like meebo, ebuddy, MSN, yahoo messenger and yesterday, Skype!!! :wall:

    If you are in the same situation, do try out imo.im. It's not blocked by my company yet. It comes in the form of web-based and windows version too. The windows version feels like web-based too but not that sure. The good thing is, it can be connected to Skype too! :dance:

    Web-based IM

    1) meebo
    2) imo.im
    3) ebuddy
    4) heysan

    Will try heysan out when imo.im get's blocked. :D

    Meebo is fun to use
     
  5. If your company allows USB devices, another option is to use HSDPA, since it's very cheap nowadays.

    Or can use anonymous web proxy and access those sites.

    Try getting the IP behind the domain name and enter them directly into the address bar
