I left in the middle of yesterday's session because it was very very late for me so I checked the second part of the recording first thing this morning – thank you so much for making it available.
I subscribed to Claudio's wonderful blog – it's a great resource for practicing grammar points in a fun way using videos.
I loved hearing all about those great social bookmarking options out there – Evelyn and Jen – thank you so much for broadening my horizon. It was so nice to hear your voices, dear friends. I use delicious and diigo, but consider myself a basic user, not really making the best out of these services.
And … Rita, dear, your part was just amazing – I thought I had a basic idea of what Google has to offer – boy was I wrong! Thank you thank you thank you all, and also thank you Nellie and Doris for this amazing sessions.
A big hug to all of you,
Saša
