Hi everybody,
I hope you enjoyed the video and that it will help you to learn something new about YouTube.com!
The reason why I decided to add it to this post, is that I've still trouble with YouTube's tools... I entered the YouTube community and got an account on August, but until now the videos I added didn't prove successful... I realized that only people I'm contact with, watched the video (because I told them :-) ), whereas only a few of newcomers happened to see it. WHY?
At the beginning I thought that it was my fault, since I couldn't share or tag the video properly, so that other people could find it easily. Watching other videos, I understood that the problem was related to other causes also... I thought: "Why thousand unuseful/silly/absurd/foolish videos (I believe you all agree with me: there are many of them) get viewed even 2.000.000 times?" It can't be!!!
I believe, as Alan said on the video above, that there are small YouTubers (like me) who can hardly increase visibility of their videos, Why aren't we promoted? Could it be that within the community there are more influent YouTubers? Due for example to commercial ends? For example I heard of a similar issue about the Myspace community...
Let me know what you think about it!
And don't forget to leave a comment on the video, if you think that other aspects might be improved on YouTube!
See you soon!

Dear Alice,
The video you posted is very interesting as it collects many users’ suggestions on how to improve YouTube. The initiative is very important because we could change this website and make it more useful and effective. It only depends on us.
As you pointed out, there are a lot of stupid videos that are watched many times, whereas more interesting videos pass unnoticed. I understand your situation…your videos are worth watching, you have a wonderful voice and a remarkable talent! In order to promote your videos, try giving them eye-catching titles and tags. You could draw other’s attention. I know that maybe you did whatever you could to advertise your clips, but try again and don’t be discouraged! ;-) I watched some videos uploaded by a singer (her username is MarieDigby) who became famous thanks to Youtube.
As regards language learning, do you think YouTube can be a useful source? In my opinion YouTube gives us an important opportunity: we can be linked and share our ideas. In this way we can not only get information about something we’re interested in, but also learn from the videos. This is the case of language learning too. I’m not referring only to videos aimed at ESL/EFL students, but also to the videos dealing with your interests. For example, if you’d like to know more about something, try to search for a video in English.
Don’t stop believing in YouTube. Like podcasts, YouTube videos can prove very helpful.
See you!

Hey, thank you! I enjoyed the video. I really don't know how tools work in YouTube because I've never uploaded any video there. Maybe it's a matter of tags...you know: if you add a lot of tags, it would become easier to find that file. Anyway, I'm not into this stuff, so it's difficult for me to comment on this topic.
I've just seen your comment to my post...I found some nice videos about Ella, as well. And the same happened with many other singers. I think YouTube gives us the possibility to watch videos we could not find anywhere else. Bye!
Hi Alice!
