How do you social network?

As you know Deea, I have joined several too and initially it was for the money, but I have made for friends through social networking than I expected. Of all the sites I have joined, however, so far this is my favorite because its so much more personal than the others. The others are about promoting your business ventures, but this one you actually talk to people about your thoughts, your beliefs and your values. Its interesting to know what other people feel and go through on a daily basis. You can find some real connections with people here and thats why I suggested you join and thats why I am staying.

I social network through paid sites like this one and Yuwie as well as sites like bebo.com, facebook and friendster. I have found so many old school friends and family through these sites which is the main reason I have joined them. I did have a myspace page but cancelled it as it gets too much trying to keep up with the ones I am already on.

I have never been on any other site like this other than Mylot...and at this point have no intention of going anywhere else. It is all I can do to maintain my goal of a response for every response on my site and to visit friends on theirs. When a gal-pal encouraged me to get involved with Mylot I could not figure out why anyone would want to talk to a bunch of people they don't know. Being here quickly changed my mind about that. Within short order I realized that this community is full of interesting, caring, funny, intelligent people who genuinely care about each other and what is going on in the world at large. I have had countless invites to go elsewhere..but I am very satisfied with Mylot and the friends I have made here. During the time I have been a member I have exchanged e-mail addresses with about 10 people and I have enjoyed taking our Cyber friendship to another level. When I posted that I had a Blog Mylotters were very supportive of it and still are. I love meeting people from all over the world and the fact that Mylot pays us to do something we like anyway is a lovely little perk as well. I would particpate in Mylot even if there were no earnings...but admittedly it is a fun 'kind with a piggy bank' kind of feeling for me. I did open a page on Myspace but never go there. It has a very different feel to Mylot and I do not have the comfort level I do here. So my social networking experiences satisfy the writer in me because I have a chance to share ideas and have instant feedback about them. That is something many writers do not enjoy. My social networking...Mylot..Mylot...Mylot...and more Mylot. When something is working I stick with and do not spread my energies around..flip flopping is not my style. Cheers...good to have you here...and happy Mylotting! Raia

I use the social network MyVieWin. Have you heard about it? If you haven't, and would like to join as my referral, I have a link on my profile. I use social networks to try to make money and find referrals to other programs. I am not a fan to these types of websites and if it wasn't for the revenue sharing, I would stay away from them, which is why I do not have a MySpace account.

When a friend introduced me to myLot, I found it to be a perfect fit for me as I don't social network well in person. In the myLot world, I can travel around to a wide variety of discussions where I am free to read and respond ... or read and move on. And I have offended no one if I do move on. In the four weeks that I have been here, I have learned some amazing things, read many interesting views from many interesting people. I sometimes want to connect with them in the "real" world because I want to hear "The Rest of the Story". And maybe someday I will connect with some. But for now, myLot's social network is an amazing way of being connected.
