Steps will also be taken to educate parents better about the potential threats on the internet, and to develop identity and age verification technology for social networking sites.
Such portals have become incredibly popular over the past couple of years, with millions flocking to MySpace, Facebook and others each day. This provides a massive opportunity for Internet Marketing.
