QUOTE: Safer Internet Day will take place on 7 February 2006. Among the host of events taking place, Insafe, the EU network for internet safety awareness, will organise a global “blogathon”.
'Safer Internet Day', the
initiative is designed to raise awareness of cyber threats. The target audience
in this case, however, isn't the corporate IT-type, but users, specifically
targeting parents and children. This year's Safer Internet Day attempts to ride
on the coattails of success of blogging and will distribute its message using
exactly the same vehicle.
