A new website aimed at pointing out to young people that placing details/singing on youtube/photos of themselves can open themselves up to all kinds of online bullying and abuse.

It is especially concerned with young people who uploading photographs of themselves or reveal personal details becoming the targets of bullying or abuse.

According to the site, developed by the National Centre for Technology in Education, 27 per cent of Irish nine- to 16-year-olds said they met someone new on the Internet who asked for information like their photo, phone number, street address, or the school they attend - an increase from 19 per cent in 2003.
