Hi, as you can tell from the subject I'm not having a great time right now. I've just been dismissed by my company for gross misconduct relating to me using a social networking sites which are banned at my work. The thing is, I haven't, what I think has happened is they are seeing some noise that my igoogle is sending back and forth from google to my machine so I was wondering if anyone could help shed a little light on the subject.
My IT department, who are entirely inept, are saying that something which is showing up in my internet logs - www.gravatar.com - is a social networking site. Now, I've taken a look at this and it appears to be an avatar site which sticks to a profile, I'm pretty sure my google account will have a picture linked to it, is this what this will be? As I've personally never been on gravatar.com until I was told about this. Secondly they are saying that there is a lot of traffic from talkgadget.google.com. Now, I'm assuming this is the built in igoogle chat functionality and this is something that has recently just appeared in igoogle in the U.K. and I'm wondering if it's this whats showing up in their logs. For example: http://talkgadget.google.com/.../test http://talkgadget.google.com/.../bind http://talkgadget.google.com/.../msg http://talkgadget.google.com/.../bind Where it reads bind my work are saying that that means I am typing a message into a chat function and anything that ends in msg is a message being sent or received by myself. And this literallly shows up all the way through the logs. Now I know I haven't been writing messages at these times (mostly as I haven't used it apart from when the functionality first appeared as a test with an online marketer at my place of work; I am a web designer) as I've been out on my lunch at some of these points but if anyone on this developer forum could help shed some light on what these addresses point to it could really help my case. I can be contacted on [email protected] if anyone would like the full internet log in word doc format. Thanks for your time and help.
