With lots of discussions going on, and new topics started almost every seconds, how do you choose which one to respond to?
Do you start with your friends? Your responded discussions? Your interest? On the ones you started? Or you just browse the board and randomly pick one that catch your attention?
Really, there are lots of things happening here in myLot.

Hi roysville,
I choose a discussion with a little responses in it. Sometimes i choose randomly because all mylot member discussions i see is all full with responder.
Yes, sometimes i choose my interest. But i will pick my friends discussion first everytime i saw they have a new discussion.
I hope with this they can visit my discussion more often. LOl But if its not, it's okay.
Happy posting my friend!!!oxox'dian.

Thanks diansinta! I used to choose randomly too, only because I didn't notice the 'friends started' button (lol), now it's first the thing I checked after commenting on all my responses. Happy mylotting!

That's a great way to establish connection with your friends, and also a way to learn about their interest. I do that too, although I don't know what to comment on my friend's discussion, it's great reading about them.
Thanks for responding!

Well, a lot of the time for me, it depends on the mood I am in when I come here and start to post in here. A lot of times, I do make sure and post back to my friends New discussions as time allows just to stay faithful to them as well. Then I either start with Todays Hot discussions, or Topics like myLot, etc. and then go from there as time permits. Personally I have no certain strategy each day. I just come in here to have Fun, meet people and make a little extra $$ in between.

Well, it's could really be fun to have no pattern and just go with the flow or your moods. It's nice that you have look at your friends, that's good in building a relationship.
Usually, I frequent myLot too, although I really don't check hot discussions, I really don't know why.
Thanks for the reply!

I choose whatever catches my attention. Today (or yesterday) I have been more open to most discussions on a lurking level. Meaning I've been doing more reading than discussing. I haven't really felt 'up' lately and I've noticed that my typing has declined quite a bit.

you really need to respond more to warm up on your typing (lol)
it's really nice just to read most of the times, you'll learn a lot. but sharing and giving inputs has more benefits than just reading. for one, it speeds up your typing skill LOL
thanks for responding!

Honestly, I start on looking at my started discussions and make some comments after I have been through I go to the discussion that my friends started but I don't actually responded to each one of them. I just look to a discussion which I got something to say. I don't go to any discussion wherein I will only put nonsense thoughts.

Me too, I check if there are any response to my started discussion. I would like to respond or at least acknowledge all those who come and visit my topics. Then I browse to look for other topics, without any particular order in mind.
Thanks ayessa!

Hi roysville, in the first place I would usually go through the discussions of those who have responded to my discussion to see whether there are any interesting topics for me to pick. I then would choose and answer discussions which I am interested from my friends. I would like to reply to any funny discussions I come across, but only that really could arouse my interest while browsing here.
posting and have a nice day.

Hi Ikbooi, I do like answering light discussion better that serious ones.
I don't have any pattern before, because I didn't notice the 'friends started' button then (lol). But now that I knew where it is, I always check it first.
Thanks for responding!

Hi Roy! How are you?
I do respond to discussions that I am interested in. It doesn't matter who started those discussions. What is important is that I know that I have something to contribute. I must admit though that most of the discussions I respond to are those that were started by my friends. There are also times when I would randomly pick discussions to respond to.

Hi dolce_vita! Everything's fine on my side, thanks. I hope same in yours too.
It's nice to always respond to friends, although sometimes they have discussions we can't really contribute anything into, but they are nice to read though.
thanks for dropping by!

I usually start with my friends, then my interests, then no responses, and rarely but sometimes new user. I don't respond to them all. Just ones I can relate to mostly and just others that catch my attention. I like to respond to discussions that I can say a lot about, so that I don't just post one or two lines. Sometimes it's hard to find good discussions though.

From today, I'll browse first the questions of my friends before going to the main section. Then I'll just pick questions which are interesting to me. I could not answer questions that I can't talk about at length. At least if it's within my interest, I maybe able to add something new.

Well, like I said, your 234 posts is proof that you've found lots of interesting topics here (lol). By the way, I'm sorry for this very late response. I've been very busy lately. If you notice, I haven't been even dropping EntreCards. I wish I can organize my time.
Thanks Jena!

I first go to my interests and then visit my friends and then surf. There are lots of interesting topics here and it is fun responding to the comments.

Hi! Again, my apology for a very late reply. I guess it's all common to us. Whether we are conscious of it or not, but we only respond to discussions that interest us. Otherwise, we'll just pass. ;)
Thanks for responding!
