First of all, I'd like to say that I have not the possibility to post a video before Sunday, because of my Internet connection. So please be patient and don't worry! Thank you! ^_^
As regards YouTube, I think that this is one of the most powerful and incredible tools on the Internet! It's full of videos about every topic and some of them are really well made or funny!
It's also true that you find some videos that are personal... I mean, they are about a family, a couple or a group of friends: can we really watch them? I know they are public, as somebody consciously put them on the Internet, but I feel as if I'm violating their privacy... What do you think? On the contrary, some videos are simply nasty and offensive: unfortunately it's easy to find them.
Anyway, the enormous amount of material in YouTube is such a great source for improving our listening skills, in particular because we can decide what we are going to look at!! Uhm, I feel a little bit repetitive... I always write that what we are doing is a great resource for improving our English ^_^"! But more than a learning tool... YouTube is much fun!!

HI Anna! Howdy? We share a lot of ideas about YouTube. It is as wide as the ocean: any video is like an anonymous drop floating on the net. About "Privacy", I think that if you put something on Youtube is because you secretly want it to be seen. Human beings are so strange, aren't we?
Hi guys! I agree with Nicola, people is strange, and if somebody puts a personal video on You Tube it's because he WANTS the others to see it! Otherwise he would have chosen to put a "normal" video!
See you on Monday!
Bye! Sara
Hi Anna!
I agree with Sara and Nicola because I don't feel 'as if I'm violating the privacy' of the people who put their videos on YouTube', they are consciuos that if they are on Internet everybody can watch them! We have learned many new tools and I don't think that we are repetitive if we always say that they are useful because they are really important for our language studies and maybe they will be useful in the future for our job, do you agree? I mean, now we are leaning the different tools we can find on Internet and their positive and negative aspects in order to be able to exploit them in the best way during our life.
See you soon,
Elisa
