European Commission: Insafe blogathon roundup
8 February 2006 : 103 blog postings from 34 countries and 300 comments in just 24 hours - that's an impressive showing for the world's first internet safety blogathon!
The Safer Internet blogathon, put together by public-interest organisations, schools, libraries and national ministries and institutions across the world , mirrors multiple facets of cyber-society and the broad palette of issues it faces.
Cultural diversity and freedom of expression, social networking and file-sharing have come under the scrutiny of bloggers, along with the attendant issues of copyright, false identity, stranger danger, hacking, security threats and more.
Some organisations invited internauts to their blog simulator, and in several countries roles were reversed for a day, with children teaching teachers, parents and even a minister the ins and outs of surfing on internet.
Comments are still coming in, and are expected to continue until the very last moment at midnight GMT on 15 February.
As patron of Safer Internet Day, I want to thank you all for your contributions. This blogathon has given to all of us an opportunity to understand how internet safety issues are dealt with in the different countries, and to identify some good ideas.
Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media

Bizarre que votre blog recoure à une software américaine au lieu de prendre de l'open source pour la mise en page de votre blog.
