Time Magazine recently announced their person of the year - You.
It's always great to get recognition for your efforts, and for once I think Time Magazine got it right. In what they herald as the "digital democracy", they highlight some of the great Web 2.0 resources, platforms and communities we have such as MySpace, YouTube and Wikipedia, all of which would be abject failures if they weren't open and had the wealth of user input.
However, these two traits are being taken advantage of by rogue elements, abusing them for hosting security threats, scams and inappropriate content. In August 2006, ScanSafe found 1 in 600 social networking pages hosted malware of some sort.
The reason we setup Scandoo was as a way for people to help protect themselves from the ever increasing dangers on the web including Web 2.0. Scandoo works by combining your input on sites and ScanSafe's security technologies. You can report offensive content/malware simply by hitting redefine in the bubble on any search result.
Together we can make the new Web 2.0 that YOU have created the safer place most of us want it to be.
Will you join us in our quest?
