  • The shocking vandalism of tribute Facebook pages for slain Australian children could have been avoided if only users, not Facebook, put more effort into policing the site, the internet industry says.
  • The incidents led Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to say he was considering appointing an online ombudsman to deal with social networking issues.

    Google speaks out on censorship and the violation of user privacy in China. Yahoo in the US agrees but its Chinese partner Alibaba Group does not. Are they afraid of a backlash from Beijing and fear for their ungoing business success? Makes me wonder how bad the quagmire in China really is...

    A Brisbane based software company's CEO created a solution to manage his son's internet access which includes time limits and blocks chat and some social network applications.
