So Safer Internet Day happens today. It's nearly 2.30pm in the UK and this is the first I've heard of it.
It's a good idea but there are a few flaws. The kind of thing that make you think how much better you would have done it yourself.
Poor publicity - haven't they heard of viral campaigns?
I think they have just done a press release to the newspapers and thought it would be enough. Nope.
Ill informed about internet usage.
CEOP is promoting a modified Internet Explorer 8 browser. This is really short sighted as IE has less than half the browser share these days. See this page on w3schools.com where it's clear that IE8 + IE7 + IE6 (sic) add up to less than the 46% share claimed by Firefox and you can add another 10% for Google Chrome.
Poor site design makes the information less accessible.
In fact switching to no-style in Firefox makes the whole page more readable. The page styles make it far too cramped.
Still, poor site design is a minor issue compared to the mess made of advertising something so important.
