Estas son algunas sugerencias que he cogido prestadas de Algunos usos correctos para hablar de Internet:
- Tú no tienes "un facebook". Facebook es un lugar, una red no una página web. Se dice 'You're on facebook,' o 'you use facebook.' (esto también vale en castellano; usas o estás en facebook)
- 'Friend' es un verbo. En inglés, es totalmente valido decir "I'll friend you," cuando agregas a tus amigos en facebook u otra red social.
- No haces búsquedas en 'the google', es solamente Goggle sin 'the'. Google también es un verbo; Google me.
- Instant messaging se refiere a un grupo de herramientas y canales de comunicación como el Msn Messenger o ICQ. También se le llama 'IM' y también es un verbo.
- Un blog es algo que tienes (a diferencia de Facebook) 'I have a blog, this blog, which you probably found by googling me' , y también se puede utilizar como verbo: I blogged about Facebook (which I'm on and I use it all the time)
- Recuerda que puedes decir 'I blogged about chihuahuas', o 'I wrote a post about chihuahuas', pero nunca digas 'I wrote a blog about chihuahuas' ya que un blog es el todo y esto es una simple entrada. En este último caso estarías diciendo que tienes un blog que habla exclusivamente de chihuahuas

Hello!
My name is Wilber Chavez, I found your web and think it is very useful to English learners, I wanted to email you but couldn´t find another way bt this one to get in touch with you.
I work for yappr.com, which is a website where you can practice and learn English while having fun. The site was created by Patrick Nee whom has always had a great interest in learning languages.
Patrick learned both Italian and Japanese as an adult, and in both cases he found watching television to be a great way to study. Nonetheless, he found DVDs to be cumbersome and often hard to understand. To help other people to learn languages using television, Patrick created yappr.com (http://www.yappr.com), which was just recently launched.
yappr.com has short and entertaining English videos clips with many tools to make them easier to use as engaging content for English learning. Each video has subtitles in English, subtitles in Spanish, the ability to easily repeat each phrase, and even has a second recording with the audio pronounced slowly and clearly. These tools make content understandable to intermediate and even beginning students. Every day new videos are posted, including contemporary music videos, current events and fashion, cartoons, commercials and lots more.
I invited you to visit, review and recommend it to your readers/members. I believe yappr.com would be of great interest to your readers/members. Would you be willing to review the web site and let your readers/members know about it? Also, if you are interested we can have a cross link with our site and blog.
Please, let me know if you are interested in it. I am available to answer any questions you might have and you can also read Patrick blog at http://patrick.blogs.yappr.com/2007/10/welcome-to-yappr.html or contact him to get more information.
Sincerely.
Wilber Chavez
