If you're an avid reader of the WebWise blog, you've almost certainly noticed the coverage we've had for Safer Internet Day: Share Take Care. It's been a pretty big deal, including a panel of experts to question, videos from Meera Syal, guides for parents and more.

But did you know that people have been talking about Share Take Care across the ´óÏó´«Ã½?

It's true; everyone from C´óÏó´«Ã½'s Horrible Histories to the big dawg himself, Westwood (he's dropped the Tim now) has been spreading the word about internet safety.

Most of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s local Inside Out ´óÏó´«Ã½ 1 shows had a piece about internet safety - such as this look into how employers are using social networks to screen candidates, and we've already reported on the Panorama special that showed the effect that cyberbullying has had on pop starlet Cher Lloyd.

It wasn't all doom and gloom though, as that same Panorama episode also included reporter Declan Lawn confronting internet troll Darren Burton (AKA Nimrod Severn), in a clip that has gone viral across the internet, with almost 300,000 views so far.

However, perhaps no one took the message of Share Take Care to heart more than ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1, which had talk about internet safety across the whole day, from Chris Moyles to Scott Mills.

They even made an hilarious game where you can help protect your favourite DJ's reputation online. Perhaps their crowning glory was a catchy song played on Greg James' show titled Router Has It - based on Adele's Rumour Has It - skip to 2:43 to have a listen!

Meanwhile, over on Radio 5 live the breakfast show was dominated by Share Take Care talk with the 10am phone in slot being given over to internet safety calls and case studies appearing in the regular news bulletins.

While this CBeebies film advised parents on keeping their kids safe online, News School Report grilled one of on privacy settings.

Everyone at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ across TV, radio and online, whether that be local,Ìý regional or national took up the cause for internet safety and carried the Share Take Care message for Safer Internet Day 2012.
