There is an issue with this solution: if users type https://facebook.com they will not be blocked by the Proxy, because no proxy seems to block the HTTPS port. Does anybody found a solution for this yet? I have tried everything from blocking the 443 (HTTPS) port either in the Proxy or by creating firewall rules but nothing seems to work.

Also on the subject of blocking social media apps on the enterprise network, here's a helpful resource. It's a whitepaper called “To Block or Not. Is that the question?” http://bit.ly/9f8WOT It has lots of insightful and useful information about identifying and controlling Enterprise 2.0 apps (Facebook, Twitter, Skype, SharePoint, etc.) Share it with the IT Dept.
