First Respondent

yes i think you are pretty right as when we are the first to response a discussion the person will surely have a look at the response he/ she have got as i do it and may be there are more people like me who do the same and we get noticed faster. in one way getting noticed is good if you are interested in having friends online and also we feel happy to response as the first responder. but i never get so much of time and i respond to the dicussion which interest me but sometimes i select the new discussions and respond them. however it is fine with provided the discussion is of my interest.

Ohhhh.. I am just the 12th respondents.. but anyweiz, I am not what you are.. I usually post on topics on my interest and it dest matter if i am the first or the last... What important is I learned and i shared something! Happy mylotting!

Well, I used to feel like you, but no more... after I realised that most of the no response are made by newbies, and the newbies don't even turn up to reply. And when some good user turns up with good topics, I am already half-way to the reply when somebody has already replied! lol.. its funny, eh? lol. I don't have any conceptions to be first to respond. I just enjoy responding and thats all... Oh by the way, I can hardly ever be the first to respond because I type a lot... you know that!:) lol. See, I am in 20s in this discussion...lol!

I do like to be the first respondant, mainly because I feel that the first page of responses are probably paid more attention too by the person setting the discussion! I know that when I start a discussion I find it hard to keep up after the first page of responses.

Yeah I too do that, just the feeling of being the first to comment. The percentage of you being the best respondent is likely high. I have two best responses in no responses discussions. Second reason why I respond to those no responses is they don't earn money if their discussion has no response, I think they really thought about making that discussion and having no responses really put their morale down. I don't think we are not alone klaudine, there are people in mylot that feel the same way too.

Hi klaudine, I don't really mind to be the first response but I do understand what you mean! But I also like to go in no responses because I like to check if a friend of mine has no response and respond to them, that if I can relate to the discussion that they post.

I'm not a very competitive person by nature, I don't care to be first at everything as long as I'm good, I go for the no response discussions to encourage other members and yes you get better comments and feed back from these ones, also you have better chances for a best response if you are one of the few first to respond since it's still to be decided and if the discussion ends up with not too many responses you can easily stand out as a best response.

i also want to be the first because i like to see myself on the frontline but also i never get to repeat all the things that other mylotters have said.

[i]Hi klaudine, I don't feel the same..LOL! I am working for over 100 notifications each day so after posting my respond, I will not even glance if I am the first or in what page I am already in that post! I just love to clear it off....LOL! ANyway, I am visiting the " no response" topic when I am out of post to respond with and when I still have time online! LOL! Just enjoy![/i]

i am the.....25th well, definitely you are not alone. i also like being the first responder to discussions i participate in. and yeah, 'no response' and also 'new discussion' sections will be the right place to go for people like us LOL. i made it several times in the past. lately, due to the internet connection, it's pretty hard to be the first respondent for me. even when i find a new discussion started '3 seconds ago', and i instantly respond it, i usually end up being the 6 respondent LOL. you know, it's embarrassing to excitedly cry, 'i am the sixth, i am the sixth!', isn't it? but now it's getting better i think. when i 'send request to www.mylot.com', they immediately 'approve' it LOL. uh, sorry klau, i am complaining about this matter several times, and mostly in your discussions and responses LOL. pls don't mind. i promise it's the last.....for today hahah.

Hello there my friend! Thanks for sharing this interesting information. I never really thought about it that way. It's true though- I usually post comments on those who respond first to my discussions! I'll try doing that next time I don't see any interesting discussions in the "today's top" and "my interests" tabs. :)Sometimes though the discussions aren't that nice which is why no one responds to it. Oh well i guess I just have to be patient enough to go through the many discussions. :)

Im a little bit like you I sometimes like to be the first to respond to a discussions, but often there will be someone who's posting at the same time as me, and I end up missing my chance to be first responder, and it looks like I missed my chance to be first again awww oh well maybe on your next topic hahaha.

yes, i have the same hobit with you. i always want to reply the 'no response' item, first, i'm happy to be the first one to reply others. second, i have the chance to get 'best response" third; it's heard that replying to 'no response'can get higher marks, i don't know whether it's true, but i will go on my hobit

I think its great that you are the first response because you always have something valuable to say. I just ranked you as best response for sushi.

Sometimes I reply to discussions with no responses if it attracts my attention. Same as you Klaudine I like to be first. In fact in some threads you are either on top of me or vice versa.

Am I first, Am I Ohhhhhhhhhh no I'm 19th Oh well i guess I will get over it Anyway back to the discussion no it doesn't really matter to me where my post is and yes sometimes it is good to be one of the first respondent but its not the end of the world for me if I'm not.

Not really. I usually only do those ones because I don't want the person to feel ignored or something, you know? It sucks to post something and no one really care enough about it to respond.

To me, it does nto matter whether I would be the first, second or a hundred and thirty-third for that matter. I just want to express my opinion. I do hope though that the person who started the discussion to at least read and respond to my comment. Cheers!

Well, I always do that when I was new here like 1 month? Because I don't need to read all responses before I can make mine. If I choose the zero response, it will not take time for me to write because I have no other responses to read before making mine. And yes, you are right!! the first response can get noticed than the last..

I like being around down to the end because although it my be exciting to be first, but I find it exciting reponding after everyone else to see how fresh i can be, puting new light on the topic at hand and to learn from other on their vision of the topic.
