February 8, 2011 is Safer Internet Day. This year efforts will address safety around “virtual lives” encompassing online gaming and social networking.

In support of this, Yahoo! has created safely.yahoo.com which has information on how to stay safe online as well as specific tips on how to stay safe on specific Yahoo! services including Flickr. So take a moment today to check out the Flickr Safety Guide.

For more info on Safer Internet Day 2011 you can peruse their main site: saferinternet.org.
