Do you get excited from a mail saying you have a response from a discussion you started on myLot? Of course, you go directly to your myLot page and found out that your latest discussion has just been replied to, right?
I still get excited. He he he! I feel like there are people who are interested in the topics I started. Somehow, there is a sense of gratification from just seeing people reply to certain topics of interest.
I remember when I first started, and that was not long ago, whenever I see a notification that there was a comment, I would go to the discussion's page. Sometimes I wouldn't know what to say, but most of the time, I would be able to reply at once. There are people who would even research on what they say in the discussions (I guess that's why they are the ones who are chosen as the best response) and you would be able to get to know them better from how they discuss the topic with you.
Please share your experience with receiving a response from your discussions.
Thanks! Happy myLotting!

Yes, knowledge is power and this power can be shared with our fellow mylotters. You may be an expert on sports or religion, so feel free to comment on those topics that interest you. It's like having a resource person willing to share his/her opinions for free. LOL
It is my opinion that I would learn more from the topics which I don't know about, so I frequent discussions about other things. he he he.
Drop by my site too... linked in my profile page.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi zorlone,
Yes, I feel excited when I got a response in my discussion especially within a minute I got the first response. It is really a happy moment. I also feel happy when I got a comment for my response from the discussion starter. I think it is an acknowledgement and a reward for our efforts. Here some people are showing little interest on commenting back but I have noticed that smart people are always showing much interest to interact with their responders. I think it is necessary to interact from both side by the way they can win the heart of mylotters.

Hello Sreekala! You have pointed out very good reasons why a mylotter should be excited. Showing interest to a discussion and appreciation by commenting back. Thank you for that. And I hope that I was able to catch the heart of this mylotter.
Cheers!

Yeah I feel excited about getting responses to discussions cos at least I know someone in the 162,000 stong mylot community has the same interest and is willing to share their opinion. On Mylot I do notice that there are lots of discussions that don't get responses, so when I see my emails from mylot saying there's a response I'm happy.

But even if your discussions haven't had any responses, chances are, the timing of the question and the kind of subject didn't match the interest of those who were currently online. The discussion becomes buried as more and more topics are posted. So, this becomes a challenge to make better topics and improve on category where the topic is more suited.
Getting a response from a discussion where you really researched about and would have had a certain niche will definitely bring joy and happiness once a comment has been received.

Yes and since i am still relatively new here, every response delivers excitement. And people read the topics as well. I like waht you said about a natural phenomena. True, the sense of gratification that another person connects to you through the discussions provide such an emotional appeal to a mylot response.
happy mylotting!

yes i often or have my email open for the whole day cause i keep checking for any email from mylot and see if my discussions has been responded or has any new responses for my old discussions. and new responses on old discussions makes me happy too. it makes me feel that i have a very discussions. and people actually noticed but when i have no or few responses i feel disappointed . it tells me or says something if i am a good in writing or not. and so i am trying to make more discussions and trying to improve my writing skills. and so the number of response on my discussions is like an indicator to me how much progress i have in writing a discussion or story.

Writing and more writing does improve through time. As you get better, the readers will be able to understand you more and the message will be clear. Mylot has given us an opportunity to showcase this talent and to learn form the discussions.
Don't worry if you get only a few comments at least you get some. LOL
Keep on writing!
Good luck!

Hi there! I have noticed that a lot of mylotters are really polite and respectful to other members. Discussions are well thought of and comments sometimes end up with "Cheers" or "happy mylotting!" So, I think that is another thing to look forward to the comments you get from the discussions.
Judging from your last sentence, I think it will benefit my mylot if I add you. since you said you will respond to your friends here. he he he!
Happy mylotting!!!

I am happy and excited everytime I got an email from mylot stating I have a response or comment here. I am happy because someone is interested to comment on my responses and someone got interested to respond to my topic. I can't understand the feeling. It's like a fulfillment to me.

I will try to describe it for you...
You are waiting for a good friend that you haven't seen for a long time at your favorite coffee shop... your friend texted you that he/she will be a little late. You took a sip of coffee... waited... 1 minute... 2 minutes.... then a tap on your shoulder.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
And you finally meet him/her. let me know if that's a close enough description.

Hi zorlone, I felt the same way before I am a new comer here in myLot. I am very excited reading those responses I've got from all of discussions. It's like I am waiting for me and I am happy commenting on their responds. But my email addresses inbox is getting full out of this responses alert from myLot so I remove the alert. I really don't give best response, I see to it that the response is really descriptive. I really enjoy myLotting everyday. When I got home, I see to it to open the internet first and check myLot new discussions and even my earnings.

I guess once you have developed a schedule when to go to mylot, it would be better, huh? I haven't had a fixed time to view mylot since my work time is irregular. So, whenever I get the chance, I log on to mylot and check it once in a while.
Commenting is likes haring your own personal experiences too, so in a way, it's like talking to a friend.
Happy mylotting!

I do like getting that email notifaction stating that someone has replied from a discussion. Always want to know what they had to say. I really enjoy getting that email saying "Congratulations! You earned Best Response!" I try to thank everyone that votes that for me.
I haven't been here for but just about a month, so maybe the newness of the emails might wear off, but I doubt it.

Pweety princess has been a member in mylot for five months already, I looked at her site coz she said she has been here long. Maybe she has been an active member. Unlike her, I have been a member for four months already but, I only began mylotting around a month now. I was also busy with writing articles on helium that's why I couldn't keep up with mylot.
So, going back, I still get excited whenever I get a notification. And how nice of you to remind that Best Response mail!!! I have had maybe a few and it's like winning a game of badminton (i mentioned this because this is an ultimate high for me), for others, the notification may be the equivalent of a compliment of their cooking, or a well written article.
I doubt that too! just now, there are two more notifications and I can't wait to see them! LOL

Hello Archie,
Thank you for the comprehensive comment. Sometimes, the smallest of rewards, such as a reply from a discussion, is enough to make us feel special. Like what you said, the discussion here should not end with just giving a response, but mylot has given us an opportunity to connect and make more than intellectual and fired up conversations about specific topics. However, I do feel that we can supply concise sentences to get to the point of our opinions too. That is just my take.
Cheers and happy mylotting!

I enjoy coming on and seeing other respond. It's hard at times to think up new discussion topics. So when I do get one up and it gets response it definately gives me that sense of gratification. I have noticed that the responses seem to have slowed down. Either that or I'm just not posting anything of interest! I'll keep trying! =] Happy mylotting to you!

That's one of the things... commenting on other topics is a bit easy to do, just browse anything that interests you. But starting your own topic??? that's a bit difficult. sometimes while i was taking a shower, I would think of a discussion, then i would keep repeating it to myself, but when I am in front of my laptop... I forgot what i thought of!!!
That sounds like a good discussion. What do you think?

I feel as excited as you when i receive the email saying that there is a response to my discussion and i will add comments to the response at once. Meanwhile, I don't care whether my response is the best. We are here for friends and expressing our feelings.

Just now, I saw the notification from my yahoo that there was a reply to my discussion. Got excited and am here now!!! He he he!
Of course, mylot offers a lot to us and one of them is to express our sentiments about a topic and make new friends along the way.
happy mylotting!!!
