You can block a site by editing the host file...
Use the Hosts file to Block Sites
EDIT: Or, of course, do it straight through the router. :)

I do this all the time.
If you have access to your router change the DNS servers to point to the servers at OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
Go to the Open DNS site and register as a home user (free), you can then block any type of site by classification (ie all social networks), by domain (facebook.com), or a particular server login.facebook.com
OpenDNS | Internet Navigation And Security
If you do not have access to your router you can simply add the DNS addresses manually to the properties for your network adaptors TCP/IP settings

The reasons for this are various - the reasons I use this method is for clients that have multiple access to the net from several computers. The prefer their staff to spend their time working rather than talking on facebook
, etc.
One one reason to use these servers is that they are far more efficient that the vast majority of DNS servers operated by the ISP.
Sites such as facebook have many access points the systems set up by openDNS are constantly updated to reflect all these points.
Performing the redirect in the router means minimal setting up on the multiple user machines.
The protected setup on the OpenDNS server can be monitored and adjusted from anywhere - site visits can be a pain
Edit: RogerR has a valid point - the protection of younger internet users is one of the major reasons for the use of blocking schemes in a home environment
