I was mildly surprised last night when an email arrived in my inbox from MyLot Digest. I've been here for a long time and had never received a digest from MyLot before. Is this something new, or had I just not been receiving one before? At any rate I think it is a great idea-to have a few top discussions delivered right to your inbox-so that you can respond to them directly. Do you all get these digests? What do you think of the idea?

I feel a little put-out. I did not get one of these digests! Oh well, I guess I already have too much stuff in my inbox anyways. I think that it is a good idea. I do participate in things like this from my email inbox and that would be less on my screen open.

I am sure that you will also be receiving the daily digest, kdhartford, since you are a myLot member. I suppose it takes some time to get around to everyone.

I had a digest this morning also from myLot and it's the first time. Thought it mentioned something about it being a "daily" digest, am I right? Hopefully myLot will use different discussions each day and give all it's members a chance to shine for the day. I do like the idea.

Yes, carolbee, I'm thinking that it will spark some new life into the discussions and open us all up to more discussions based upon our interests.

Yes, wisconsin, it is a great idea, and it will save some time when you are searching for discussions that you would like to reply to.

I have yet to receive one of those MyLot Digest things. So I don't know what to think of them at the moment. I like having the alerts, so most likely wouldn't mind having a sum up of the top discussions sent to me.

It's a great idea, jeweled, in that you have the option of picking and choosing some discussions without going through all the lists.

Yes, Calais, it is a wonderful idea that will help us to gain access to more discussions since they are centered around our interests.

You're not the first to mention this so it must be something new. Since I have all of my alerts or whatever they are called turned off I guess I won't get them and that's fine with me.

I don't know exactly what system they are using, ctry, but I'm pretty sure they will get around to everyone eventually. I know that I have not been contributing nearly as much to the site lately since I have been sick, so you will probably be getting them soon.

I got my first one today! I thought what the ..... Totally out of the blue, never received one in all the time I've been on Mylot which is 15 months now, and today's digest was the first! I was so surprised it didn't register and I have put it in my to read later folder! As I had tonnes of emails to sort out today, guiltily I haven't read it properly as yet! Now is that a one off, or do we get them daily, weekly, monthly? Usually if there is a big change on the site we are all notified on site like when interest rankings came about we were informed of those, but not daily digests, be interesting to find out if they are regular or just a trial.

So far, wolfie, I have been receiving mine on a daily basis. It's a real job trying to keep up, but it does take some of the pressure off since you don't have to go trolling through all the different interests.

I got the Mylot gigest the other day also. I was very surprised to see it. I thought that it had been in place for a while because I hadn't seen many discussions about until I saw yours. I had been away for a while so I wasn't really sure.
I like getting it in my inbox also because we get to respond to topics that may have not before.

It certainly does broaden our territory, stephcjh! So nice to find decent discussions without all the searching.

I think its a nice idea too. Its nice to get updated discussions especially from those who are not on your friends list - some of the topics they post are quite interesting!

Yes, maddysmommy, it does give us a broader spectrum of discussions in which to participate. I can't understand why anyone would not see the beauty of this idea.

I think that most people will agree with you on that, Aurone. It's very nice having the discussions delivered right to your inbox.

Don't you agree that it's a wonderful idea, anniepa? It does open up a lot of new territory for those of us who might be reluctant to venture outside our natural habitat.

I wondered about his myself. I didn't use it and didn't get one today for some reason, but I think it is a good idea..

They come in so handy, carmelanirel, because they save you some of the time you might ordinarily spend searching for decent posts to respond to.

But for the people that want it its a good thing , thats true:)

If it's done anything at all, devil, it has made me clean up much of the junk in my inbox. That's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned.

Hi worldwise1. I also get mylot digests. And I was surprised too when I got it for the first time:).
I wish mylot started sending this digests earlier. I have been posting here for a year now and I still havn;t reach the payout minimum . It's because I seldom have some free time to come to mylot and respond to some discussions. But now I post some discussions every day, because I check my email every day and there is mylot digest:).
I like the idea of the digest very much. It helps me to come to mylot more than twice a month;).
have a nice day, jazgottt.

I think that's great, jazgottt! This is going to be a big help to lots of myLot members who have been having trouble finding suitable discussions. I hope you take off in a big way, lol.

Yep I think it is definitely new worldwise - I certainly haven't seen it before today! I too think it is a good idea - although having said that I am desperately trying to catch up with what has been going on with my friends here on mylot so I probably won't use it right away butr it is a good idea! xxx

I have devised a system that seems to be working fairly well, mummymo. I work back and forth between email notifications from my friends and the digests. Maybe one day I'll manage to get caught up, lol.

It must be something new, maximax8, because it is my first experience with receiving the digests.

I would advise you to stick with it, asawako, and you will soon begin to see results. You just have to post and participate as often as you can. Good luck!
