We often hear about some of the negative uses for social media but at last week’s cyber safety summit in Melbourne, a new web app was launched to encourage the flow of positive messages online.
The App, which is aptly titled “@ppreciate” gives young people the opportunity to customise an encouraging messages which can then be shared with a friends via Facebook, tumblr and twitter.
Senator Kate Lundy announced the app stating that ‘encouraging positive online behaviour is a shared responsibility for the whole community’.
