On the occasion of Safer Internet Forum, that took place last September, Ciaopeople interviews Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information and Media Society, to talk about children’s and teenagers’ on-line safety.

Safer Internet Forum, organized every year by European Commission since 2004, provides an European platform through which industries of this field, legal authorities and politicians can face issues regarding on-line safety. So Ciaopeople, as representative of Italian social networks, decided to interview Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information and Media Society.

Viviane Reding has underlined her interest in social networks, specifying that this phenomenon is changing remarkably “the way we get in touch, the way we search for information, the way we have fun. But, it has also given innovative tools for the management of human resources, customer service and advertising. These networking sites have transformed people in active users of technology, but we must not forget that these changes involve new challenges too. Their great popularity among teenagers creates serious problems, concerning on-line data and privacy protection”.

Moreover, the European Commissioner explained that she is well-disposed to self-regulation: “As a member of the Social Christian Party of Luxembourg, I obviously stand up for an efficient self-regulation of industry compared to the creation of a new legislation. But – and as the issue of SMS roaming has confirmed – self-regulation of industry can be considered as an option, if interested stakeholders accept it and when it is actually implemented. I think it’s important that 17 social networks, operating in Europe – for example MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube, Bebo, Hyves, StudiVZ and Skyrock – have decided to talk about a common set of guide-lines to assure on-line safety, in particular for children, and to improve the transparency of their utilities”.

Ciaopeople is a rather large social network that has reached about 500.000 members, mostly teenagers. From the start, Ciaopeople has tried to make a safe virtual platform for its users and now, as a large chat, it underlines the importance of internet safety. Indeed, this firm wants to provide a safe on-line space for its users, in which those who surf the net will be able to find only the best aspects of the net, such as entertainment, socializing and interaction.

As a representative of Italian social networking, Ciaopeople wants to understand Italy’s role in these changes: for this reason, European Commissioner mentioned two important Italian projects, financed by European Safer Internet Plus program, EASY (http://www.easy4.it) and STOP-IT (http://www.stop-it.org) managed by Save the children Italy Organization, in partnership with Adiconsum, consumers association.

In addition, the Commissioner asked social networks to agree to the European Social Networking Task Force, which is working to make a “code of conduct”, that will be ready in 2009. It operates under the supervision of the European Commission.
Internet Safety is a moral obligation for social networking firms, legal authorities, politicians and people in general. So www.ciaopeople.com will agree to the guide-lines of this new code of conduct.

New opportunities for Leeds jobseekers as Yorkshire-based investment company launches new free recruitment website

Yorkshire-based investment fund Phase 37 has backed the launch of a new free Facebook-style website which aims to help young jobseekers in Leeds and the surrounding areas to find employment.
www.employgo.co.uk is the first site of its kind to specialise in the recruitment for 16-25 year olds across a wide range of sectors and the whole range of employment options; full-time, part-time, temporary and permanent.

Following the model of the hugely popular Facebook and MySpace social networking sites, jobseekers create their free, personalised profiles which they use to apply for jobs online.
Leeds is the prime city to launch such a site; the city has the largest student population in the UK and is the biggest commercial centre in the region – meaning there are thousands of under-25s looking for jobs and the country’s major employers looking for new recruits at all times.

Ed Clothier, managing director of Employgo said:
“The launch of Employgo is great news for employers looking to cut recruitment costs in this particularly sensitive economic climate.
“The catering and hospitality trades in particular have a high demand for good-quality candidates across a range of part-time and temporary positions and at Employgo, we understand how best to communicate with this difficult-to-reach audience.”
There are already plans in place to launch www.employgo.co.uk nationwide following the launch in Leeds. Other cities in Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Bradford, York, Hull and Huddersfield will be the first to benefit from the Employgo service.

About Employgo.co.uk

Employgo.co.uk is a 100% web-based employment resource aimed at 16-25 year olds looking for temporary, part-time and even full-time jobs.
Registering to use the site is completely free (there are no hidden charges) – and more importantly it’s really easy and it’s fun.

Rare or hard-to-find denim, vinyl, trainers and sunglasses to form part of asos.com ’s innovative ‘Untitled’ initiative.

London: ‘Untitled’ is the innovative new menswear project initiated by online retailer asos.com. Developed from the idea that limited edition products captivate men, ‘Untitled’ invites experts in denim, vinyl, trainers, sunglasses and new designers, to collate, and then offer to asos.com, a series of rare, hard-to-find or limited edition products for sale. The project propels menswear forward on asos.com and highlights some of the current creativity in men’s fashion and lifestyle products.

Denim expert Neil Christopher was eager to offer his services to asos.com. As a denim addict, Christopher has traveled America sourcing denim for hip stores in New York and Japan. Having worked for denim giants Boxfresh, Carhartt, North Sails and Levi’s, he now develops garments for radical denim brand Kato. For ‘Untitled’, Christopher has hand-selected exclusive Kato pieces especially for the collection and all are offered numbered and in small quantities.

Kato 5-pocket jeans: £240

Limited edition sunglasses always cause limited edition envy, so asos.com invited expert Fraser Laing to offer his vision for the project. Archiv, Laing’s company was set up in 1997 to sell exclusive vintage eyewear. As Laing explains, “Since then there have been two main rules in pursuit of that goal. One; always keep eyewear which is emblematic of Arckiv’s style, and two; never sell anything which isn’t well designed or well made.” For the ‘Untitled’ project, Laing has selected contemporary limited edition styles along with vintage frames such as the 5317, which was worn by iconic jazz musician Herbie Hancock in1986.

Vintage Carrera sunglasses: £95-£450

Rare vinyl has become something of a style status symbol and vinyl authority Jim Henderson threw his support behind the ‘Untitled’ idea. Owner of the world’s largest independent record store Amoeba, Henderson offers music lovers every kind of music from the top 40, to the best in underground rock, hip-hop, soul, electronic, new and classic jazz, from his stores in San Francisco and Hollywood. “As with our amoeba stores and amoeba.com,” explains Jim Henderson, “asos represents a local and global culture with style, drawing from, but not flaunting, its expertise. This particular project is introducing its users to new concepts and ideas, bringing an awareness of others who strive for expertise in their fields.” Amoeba’s leading vinyl-buying expert, Rick Frystak, selected the records for the project, choosing rare vinyl albums from multiple eras, genres and styles.

“Some Girls” vinyl by the Rolling Stones: £10

London-based fashion writer and author of ‘Modern Menswear’, Hywel Davies approached new international menswear designers, and commissioned them to design limited edition garments especially for the ‘Untitled’ project. Swedish Patrik Soderstam, a graduate from Central Saint Martins, who describes himself as a clothes maker and multi-talent, has designed 5 different limited edition graphic t-shirts which are both bold and dynamic. Berlin-based Carola Euler offers a grey pleat front sweatshirt combining her utilitarian design approach for this project. Another Berlin designer, Frank Leder has handmade wool scarves and combined his obsession with historical Germany but applying vintage enamel badges. London-based Jean-Pierre Braganza contrasts with expertly cut patterns that emphasise the human figure and offer unexpected detailing – he offers low crotch, slim leg black wool trousers with leather panel detail for this project. Deryck Walker completes the group with his new take on the white shirt, utilising his intricate pattern cutting and attention to detail.

Patrik Soderstam t-shirt: £50

On-line trainer store Crooked Tongues has been selling hard-to-find trainers since 2000, and was enlisted to attract all trainer geeks. Highlights of their selection include the Adidas 35th Superstar, which was the culmination of the celebrations surrounding 35 years of the Shelltoe. As Charlie Morgan from Crooked Tongue explains, “It’s an iconic design that’s timeless and needs little introduction, but as the final release of 35, only a tiny run was released to friends of Adidas. The materials and packaging are incredible, and while few pieces maintain their original appeal, these are still something of a benchmark in how you present a premium, rare release.”

Nike SB “What The Dunk” trainers £750

asos.com is going to radical measures to offer directional and exclusive products for their customers. The project confirms asos.com menswear as a trend-setting and opinion-forming brand, offering exciting and cool products to their style-savvy shoppers. The Untitled collections launch on 16th October, but act quickly, as product is, of course, strictly limited edition.

Promoting a new product or concept is never easy. You need to make customers appreciate its complete potential. It’s the same with Lounge-book. Much more than an accessory it’s a new way of working with your notebook PC, a totally integrated mod con.

This is why, following the launch of Lively, the new 3D world from Google, Lounge-tek has created a virtual shop window not just as a showcase of a range of situations but to let customers to check it out for themselves. Using their own avatar, clients can try out the Lounge-book reclining in their armchair, sofa or bed, while sitting in a classroom or waiting room. Or members of the online community can use the digitized object to their heart’s desire as a furnishing accessory for their own virtual environment.

The product’s digitalization is state-of-the-art; the company worked closely with a specialist 3D web design company to achieve a surprisingly vivid level of realism.

The decision to open the Lounge-tek “virtual shop window” on Lively is a further stage in the company’s innovative strategy which even encompasses the actual marketing and presentation of the product.

Currently 85% of direct sales are generated abroad, from a diverse client base stretching as far as the Americas and Australia. This enables it to launch the product to an increasingly vast and diverse potential market, without the physical restrictions of a conventional sales network and at an extremely low cost.

IT research firm Gartner has predicted that by 2011, 80% of Internet surfers will be using an avatar to interact in virtual worlds. The new 3D Internet frontier is upon us and Lounge-tek aims to harness these technological opportunities. By spearheading the evolution towards visual content representation using tools reinventing the very nature of the Internet, Lounge-tek aims to transform the standard browsing experience into an interactive delight. The company is thus contributing to a scenario in which - thanks to the 3D web - real, simulated and imaginary objects merge to form a kind of extended world which opens up a fascinating and rich avenue of opportunity, not just for marketing but also for the development of innovative business models.

Lounge-book is the innovative notebook support to be used in total ease by laptop PC users home and away. A new digital-life experience which integrates technology and domestic habits, affording users the full freedom of portable technologies.

Lounge-tek was established to produce and sell the Lounge-book. Since its inception, the company has built up a reputation for optimizing organizational processes using the finest web technologies. The firm’s investments are channelled not so much into producing “special effects” but into providing new tools for evaluating the product’s usefulness and enhancing its overall value. This involves finding the best way to transfer the solution to the customer at the lowest possible price.
