adapting this system to TSW. We could all name a few posters who act stupid - even after drinking as well.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A Web security company is offering a free tool designed to prevent users of social networks from posting embarrassing drunken messages online.

 

On the premise that "Nothing good happens after 1:00 am," the tool from Colorado-based Webroot promises to "put an end to the embarrassment that follows regrettable, late-night posts."

 

The "Social Media Sobriety Test" is a free plug-in for Firefox Web browsers.

 

It requires a user of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube or Tumblr to perform a coordination test before being allowed to access the service.

 

The tests include keeping a cursor inside a moving circle or correctly identifying a series of flashing lights.

 

If a user fails they will be blocked from using a service.

 

Sobriety Test users can set the hours they would like the blocking tool to be in force.
