Safety: Tips to Protect Kids Online http://www.microsoft.com/protect/family/activities/blogging.mspx
Published: October 7, 2006
"The practice of blogging, short for
keeping a "Web log" or
online personal journal, is growing like wildfire—especially among teenagers,
who sometimes maintain blogs without the knowledge of their parents or
guardians.
Recent studies show that teenagers write roughly half of all blogs today, with
two out of three providing their age, three out of five revealing their location
and contact information, and one in five revealing their full name. It should go
without saying that there are potential risks in sharing this type of detailed
personal information.
And, as more young peers create more blogs, they tend to compete increasingly
with each other for attention. Sometimes this can lead to kids posting
inappropriate material such as provocative pictures of themselves or their
friends." |
