The arms race continues: anti-social-media-software software

UNC social media researcher Fred Stutzman (glamour shot at left) this week announced the release of Anti-Social, his social media-blocking productivity software for Mac OS X.
I have friends who swear by Freedom, Fred’s previous creation (for Mac and Windows), which disconnects the Internet on your computer entirely, for whatever interval(s) you specify, so you can get work done without distractions. Anti-Social is a narrower tool, locking you out of social media sites in particular, but leaving the rest of the Internet available.
We will leave as an exercise for the reader the question of Where This All Might Lead.
