i would prefer to respond to the discussions as much as possible than starting a new discussion. i feel that we need to have some good topic to start of a new discussion and this takes more time for me and rather i would feel like reading others discussion and respond to it but yes sometimes the started discussions are so long that it really takes time and clicking on each discussion and finding the intersted one make it difficult. i spend a little time at mylot and i would like to use it properly on mylot.
how about you all do you prefer to start a new discussion or respond to others?
share your views and thanks for responding.

hi there, icegermany..
just like you, i have limited time for myLot and i find it easier to respond to discussions.
i think it also helps the myLot system if we respond first before starting any new discussion because it unclutters the list of discussion topics.
responding to discussions also broadens one's base of friends because you usually get to interact with people who have the same issues or interests as you.
happy myLotting!

yes responding to the discussions usually teaches us a different concept and we would come to know about the different point of views and the different way of thinking. sometimes it usually helps when we thing something is wrong then we would get a different point of view which prove that the particular thing is good and hence it helps. thanks for responding and happy mylotting.

for me... well
if i have alot of ideas running through my head, starting a new discussion would not be a problem.
but i find that half the time, i'm more than content to respond to other's discussions. perhaps that is because i don't any ideas running.
but to answer your discussion, i would very much prefer to respond than start a new.

ok it is really nice and kind of you responding to my discussion. it is really good that you have many ideas and it is really helpfull to have ideas due to which you can start of mylotting immediately without searching for the discussions in which you are interested into. it depends on person to person some feel better to respond and some feel easy to start of with a new discussion. anyways thanks again to respond and happy mylotting.

Hello icegermany! I am more on responding to discussions rather than starting my own discussion. It's hard to me to make a new discussion because most of the idea that came to me, someone started it already. If you will see, I have more number of responded discussions than the number of my own discussions..hehehe

you are right it is always easy to repond the discussions and when we think of responding to the discussions we just try to find the discussions which we are interested into and then try to reply them and the ideas just flow out and we write it but it doesnt happen in the case of starting a discussion as we have to think of some particular topic and need to write on that and this takes much time.

Sometimes its easy, sometimes its not. Its more easy if you have information about the discussion your joining to. You can always share more than 3 paragraph more that especially when its one of your favorite topic. But not all discussions are like that, so its like your brain is feeling empty and dont know what to say. I respond to discussion within my interest, so its always good.

yes if we find the disucssion is interesting and only then we could respond the discussion and write our views on it and we get ideas freely or else we just cant force ourself to write something and it is really not possible to write unwillingly. sometimes we can find more number of discussions which we are interested into and sometimes we just dont find any at all.

yes there are a few discussion which we feel they are more interesting and we feel like responding to them as we have more ideas to write and share our views and we do that and if we feel that the particular discussion is not interesting however we force ourself we dont get any ideas there to write and it all is about the interest we have and depends on every individual person. anyways thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

haha,what you have mentioned is also my point.I prefer responding to others to starting a new discussion. I always think that if I could find a good topic, others may lack of the interesting of my new discussion.I like to share with others with the discussion I am interested in.
Good luck and Happy mylotting.

at mylot it is really an opputunity for us to discuss and share our viewes on others discussions which we just cant do it usually anywhere. people just dont want to hear anything from anyone but mylot is the only place where we can find this and discuss. sometimes the responses what we get really help us and make us learn more things.

I would perfer responding to other peoples discussion since at least where guaranteed to make something. And hardly anyone ever responds to my discussions which is very discouraging at least it is for me and thats why I dont make discussions to often.

yes most of the times it happens when we start of a new discussion it is not possible to get more number of responses and hence it really causes a depression and hence this is also one of the reasons and better to make responding to others discussions. i agree with you we all are here to make some money and hence if we start of respond doesnt matter and the only thing is to have discussion and also self happiness to work here and starting a discussion and not getting responses will really depress and we lose our mood and interest and hence it is better to repond the discussion and be happy isnt it?

I normally find it easier to respond to others discussions, lets face it there is a larger enough choice, than starting them myself.
The main reasons why is that when i have tried to start a discussion i normally see that someone else has started a similar or same discussion only hours ago, so don't want to tread on peoples toes etc, and also whenever i start a discussion I rarely get many responses.
Then I feel deflated and think why bother ? I probarly just word the discussion a bit to awkwardly or its not in the right section, or the question is too specific.

yes i can understand, we have many choices if are about to respond the discussions. there are many topics and atleast in a few are interested and it makes easier to respond and also interesting. sometimes it happens that when we want to start a discussion and someone is already started it we really feel upset and again move on to other topics so that we can continue writing. but let me tell you one thing that if we have any ideas of starting a discussion it is always better to start of the discussion immediately with checking wheather it already exists or not because there are manier discussions here which are similar and there are so many people at mylot and may be sometimes we think alike and hence this happens, so irrespective of that you can start your discussion. so hope you good luck and thanks for the response.

I guess we're pretty much the same; I also mostly do the responding than posting my own topic. I find it easier to just response to other's discussion specially if it interests me than thinking of topics and ideas to be posted as my own.

yes interesting discussions will really make us write something or more. it really depends on an individual wheather he would start or respond the discussions but there are a few discussions which really make us stop over and respond to it and it is one way good so that we can write more and have a good discussion, thanks for the response.

I think that you have raised a pretty interesting question icegermany. I have actually been back regularly here to myLot since last June. I try to answer discussions and give as good feedback as possible. I know full well the importance of keeping our answers and posting of questions will good quality and description.
I am trying to stay away from figuring out the calculations and format in which myLot administration has implemented. I believe it is probably more important just to have fun and make a little money while doing it.
Well when it comes to whether or not it is easier to start the posting or responding to the discussions I think that is a case where it kind of just depends on the day and the time of day when I log onto this site. I might have something in particular in my mind on any given day where I would like to start a conversation here that might invoke good quality answers and in turn would help me with an issue at hand.
I really enjoy getting the feed back that I need and that is why I like this site so much.
On the other hand there are some discussions that are raised that I find I need to put in my opinion or advice so it might help another person.

it is true that every person would like to work at a place he can enjoy and have a good time and i know mylot is one among them and it is really a good place to have fun and nice time too and yes it is really a place where we can get different answers from different people who think in a different way and sometimes this really gives the exact answer what we were looking for. there are people who want to find out few things regarding their concern and there are also people who would like to share their thoughts and some would like to share their experiences and the responses each one gets really calms a few, advic es a few and answers a few of them which is really good and helpfull for every person here and i know most of us are here to earn and inturn all this will lead to earnings whether it is sharing a thought and experience or finding an answer.

I prefer to respond than to start my own discussion. It takes time for me to start a new topic unless the idea is base in my interest and the situiton applies or happened to me. Here, i read several topics a day and having more benifits reading to some comments.

when we have some ideas to start of a new discussion then it seems to be a easy job but it cannot happen always and hence it is difficult to think of some topic and start a discussion. but as we have wide range of topics and wide number of discussions available here it makes easier to find one and start responding to them. yes some of the discussions will surely help and can add up to the points we look for.

That would depend on the time i spend on myLot and my mood. If i can spend atleast 10 minutes on mylot or if I have good mood, then i would respond to the discussions. If not i prefer to start a discussion if i have any topic... Thats it.

I also prefer responding to discussions from our friends before starting mine.
Its a sort of warm up for me.
Its also more relaxing.

I feel they are both not easy. When I create a new topic, I want to deliberate as much as possible. When I answer discussion, I want to say as much as I can. It well depends on what topics they are, if I am very interested and brain-storm something to say, then it is easy.
@eabaterina (501)

i try to start discussions then feel bad when not much people reply so i am a little discouraged about starting new discussions unless i am really interested to know the answer to a question i have. so what i mostly do is respond to discussions that interests me and that i can give a decent response to. =)
