On 7 February 2006 the network organised a worldwide "blogathon": several organisations and special guests were invited to post blog articles which members of the public could comment on. The blogathon started in New Zealand, moving west across several time zones to end in Argentina.
Other activities around the world included quizzes, online games, a story-telling competition and round table discussions.
In total 37 countries, and approximately 100 organisations took part in SID 2006.
Safer Internet Day 2005
8 February 2005 was the first SID organised by the Insafe network. The number of countries taking part more than doubled with 30 countries and 65 organisations participating worldwide including Russia and Singapore as new additions.
The 2005 campaign was marked by an internet adventure storytelling contest for children, which was turned into a book of stories and then published.
Safer Internet Day 2004
The first Safer Internet Day (SID) took place on 6 February 2004, and was the brainchild of the SafeBorders project. It was celebrated in 14 countries (13 EU countries and Australia).
Since then, the popularity of SID has continued to grow year after year.
