Bibo “blocking”, “Bashing” and “Blogging” (and Abschicken)
Bibo “Blogging”
A week a go I would never have though that my humble blog could generate as much discussion on bibo as it has (thank you to everyone who has responded to my Alan November style question, or commented on my other posts – its very encouraging)
Bibo “Bashing”
I don’t want folks to think I am having a go at Bibo itself. A week a go when I first saw bebo I was browsing a few home pages to get a flavour for what users were posting about themselves. I came across one users site that I felt was inappropriate. I decided that rather than bash bibo, to others without giving them a change, I would let them know. I got a reply last night saying that they had removed the offensive material and had warned the user. In doing this Bibo has gone up in my estimations. I then went and checked the users page to see what it was like now (had the user responded), to find more things of a questionable nature! Its also worth noting that this user had information on her page that would allow her to be traced to one of about 5 addresses.
Bibo “Blocking”
In the school where I work, virtually none of the kids had heard of bibo. That was until I told them about it. For all that I don’t really like bebo I an still young enough to “get it”. I control what the kids get access to and what they don’t in school, and I currently have no plans to bock bibo. My view would therefore appear to reflect the Scandinavian approach (ref Comment by Andy Watson — March 31, 2006 @ 5:54 pm) If the kids are going to use bibo I would rather that a proportion of their use be in school, so that I can continue to support them in using it responsibly. I have also laid down a challenge to the kids (In relation to bibo, MSN spaces and the like). Show to a friend, and get them to comment on how much personal info you have included. If kids have the critical eye of someone they trust, they are more likely to “play it safe”
“Please send me a Chicken”
Apparently “abschicken” is German for “Submit”. I have to assume that the person who developed the template I use for my Blog was German. Perhaps that’s by I have had so many comments from Ewan?
Um dann zu schließen, ist das die Bedeutung des Lebens., durch die Gnade, die Beziehung mit unserem Schöpfer-Gott wiederherzustellen, und seine Liebe mit anderen zu teilen!
And I bet you thought an Adschciken was a hen on steroids!
