| Virtual Universe Joins Internet Watch Foundation Virtual Universe has become a member of the Internet Watch Foundation, joining leading internet, IT, mobile and media organisations in the fight to minimise the availability of potentially illegal internet content. Virtual Universe is a provider of social networking services, infrastructure and content to companies and consumers. For businesses seeking to monetize content and add interactivity into their online communities, Virtual Universe offers micropayment solutions, along with mobile applications and turnkey social networking and dating services with around-the-clock moderation. Virtual Universe's involvement with the IWF continues the company's tradition of working with organisations to educate consumers on safe practices around new interactive technologies. Last year, Virtual Universe partnered with Childnet International to develop a mobile application featuring Childnet's 'Friend or Foe' interactive mobile quiz. Using Virtual Universe's Pocket Portal on-phone mobile application, the quiz helps to teach teens about the perils of interacting with others via the internet and mobile phones, along with tips for keeping personal details confidential and avoiding potentially risky situations. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
