The free tool is a valuable way of getting back in control of your online behavior

Written by IT News on 6:45 PM

For those of you who warn about the time at work surfing the web sites YouTube, MySpace and Facebook, there may still be hope. Some guys have invented innovative KeepMeOut site, a very useful tool if you want to avoid unpleasant situations with the head in the future. Apparently, the site is free to use and can lead to benefits for those who cannot stop watching video or update profiles during working hours.

The use of the service is not very complicated and can easily be mastered in minutes. First you must access the website and enter the URL of the page you want to be kept out of the specially designed KeepMeOut. You can select the time interval from the form. This function determines if the site will warn you to go to the page you just enter the URL in the box more than once, for example, in 60 minutes.

If you feel that you belong to a particular site, such as YouTube, you can simply set the time of 2 hours or more. So if YouTube actually have more than once in 60 minutes, a warning message appears informing you of this. The next step is where you need to succeed in the difficult task to fool the user. When you click "Submit" button, a new URL will be generated on the website of the instrument. You should copy this link and bookmarks in your browser, and rename it to YouTube or Facebook or another site that you want to stay away from.

The part to change the name is important, so that you forget the fact that it is time KeepMeOut "on the wire" between your computer and the server of the destination site. The first time you use the bookmark, the difference will not be visible. But if you try to visit again a little faster than the time you have allocated in step 1 and then a warning message that tells you to try again after a certain time.

The good part of this site is that you can create as many bookmarks as possible. If you want to restrict your access to different places in terms of time, you are free to do so. However, if you want access to those you've blocked, you can always do it directly by typing the URL into the address box or by replacing KeepMeOut bookmarks with the real. As they say on the website yesterday, "Reclaim Your Life!"
