Spick competes with Facebook
A safe online network for children is launching: The Swiss children's and youth magazine *Spick* is competing with major online communities like Facebook with its own platform.
In close coordination with the Swiss Crime Prevention SPK, the new
Sprick community was created. The safety of the children was just as important in the design as contemporary functionality, says Spick publishing director Roger Grolimund. Children can now create their own profile on Spick.ch, upload photos and videos, communicate with friends and post their own text contributions.
However, parental consent is also required by e-mail. This means that no child can access the Internet uncontrolled. And once they are online, they will find tips and advice on safe surfing and can contact one of the Spick moderators at any time if they have any problems.
The Spick community is part of the completely redesigned website of the Swiss children's and youth magazine. The fresh design also includes more cross-media content. In addition to the puzzle page in the magazine, there will also be Sudokus online in future and additional downloads for some craft tips. Tips and answers from the magazine are archived on the Internet and can be accessed with just one click.
