In fact I am excited in the task. However, I don't think I can find many tasks which I can finish. I only finished four tasks about editing logos last night. At least it's something I can do. I want to finish the toolbar task but I can't download it until today. So I have to still post here.
I love China![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

I haven't tried the task think yet, but I plan to in about 15 minutes to see if it's worthwhile. I was hoping that they would enhance the earnings so that the display would update hourly instead of daily. Every other site I belong to that is similar to MyLot updates at least once an hour and a couple are instantaneous.

The tasks weren't really that much fun for me.
I'm most likely going to stick to discussions unless any come up that interest me and I actually understand what to do.
Am a little bit disapointed.

Well.I prefer normal discussions right now.Tasks are introduced recently .Let me see how it works and how the earnings boost .I think tasks are minimum we earn money only if they approve our tasks.If they didnt approve all our efforts will be waste.
But by discussions we can earn money definitely.I think discussions are better right now.

obviously, none of us are going to get rich on mylot... so I prefer having discussions on various interesting topics to completing boring tasks. At least this way I can have fun while earning my little bit of cash.

I actually spent too much time in understanding and sorting out 1 task, therefore I am back on discussions *laughs*.

I totally agree with kenxoras! Doing the task is pretty tough. I prefer to have a normal discussion. Maybe once a week, I might see what interesting tasks are available and I might do. Doing tasks is an individual thing while discussions is sort of teamwork thing. Definitely, I'll go for the one which is more fun(discussions). :)

I prefer normal discussions for now because I don't want to investigate too much on a special object. I think if I feel less stressful during weekend, then tasks could be fun.

Some people say the task thing is hard. I don't think it is. Even though you earn more money from it I prefer discussions. I will do a task now and then if it is the four paragraph one. As you can see, there are none of those left now.
I'm not really here for the money, though extra pocket money for doing something you love is great!
My final answer though is, discussions on mylot are much better than tasks!

*laughs* I was amazed how much time I spent on figuring out 1 task, I like discussions more, more hassle-free.

It seems that the faster way to make money is by tasks but it is more complicated than just having a normal discussion. I don't know if anyone has been approved and paid yet by tasks. I would prefer to have both and this is a great new addition to MyLot!

I think during the weekend when I feel less stressful, I would go for task.

defenitely discussions, i prefer normal discussions. the tension is much less. when doing the task, htere is a lot of tension . but in the tasks you get paid more. another thing about discussions is that you get to know different things, experiences and some discussions are simply fun.
have a nice day

I haven't tried the task, i just briefly read what's on it and i think i'll just join in the discussions. I have a regular eight to five job and i don't have that much time to spend on the tasks. I can myLot for only a few minutes lately because i always feel drowsy at night. Maybe because of the vitamins i'm taking or maybe my body is already reacting to the habit of sleeping past midnight.

Yea if you don't have much time left, discussions would be better, as you could walk away anytime without a time frame.

The task is similar to my regular job as an Web Researcher. I joined myLot to earn a little and enjoy at the same time. So I prefer the normal discussions because it serves as my stress buster.

I spend most of my time on here responding to regular discussions, but when a task opens up that I qualify for (some can't be done outside of the USA, and I'm in Canada), and that interests me, I will accept it, do it, and hopefully get it approved, and get paid for it.

I prefer both tasks and discussions. I had done one task and I had got that approved. I think it is fun to do the tasks occasionally rather than sticking only to discussions. The good thing about the tasks is that the payment is higher. I have not seen any tasks lately. I am looking forward to see more tasks in the future.
