Once we request and accept friends, is there any requirement as such? such as looking up their discussions or posting onto their discussions, wishing them.Is this the done thing here? Or is it just a casual friend list that gets extended over a period of time as we go on adding new friends.I see some members having 400 , 500 and more friends.How to keep track of all of thes frends? I doubt if adding friends has any monetary benefits? or is there? looking for some answers here friends !

If you treat your friend like you hope that they will treat you, and you are there for them like you hope that they will be for you then it could be beneficial for both you and them. If you have your notifiers set to 'on' you will know when your friends start a new discussion and you can go and respond on it. This will give them a chance to earn by commenting back to you. They might then return the favour. Over time you get to know each other better and who knows, you might even become friends offline too.

mysdiana thank you so much for the clarification ! One may not be able to get close to all the friends, but I am sure it is possible to get to know one another better over a period of time, especially those with common interests and likes.I will look forward to more interactions here - all the best and have a Great evening!

Yes I gather that now.One can request and add friends depending on mutual interests. It is always mutually beneficial.I agree that it gives us a chance to take part in more discussions.Thanks a lot for your views :))

Hi sumant, I too had similar queries when I first joined mylot. I had no friends for several days , weeks, but then I was not active either. Slowly I got a couple of friends and then it grew. It is part of mylot culture, to have friends and interact. It becomes easier and more enjoyable to participate in friends discussions. You will see that all activities pertaining to your friends will be mailed to you and you will be flooded with mail from mylot, so you will be aware of all activities of your friends - Happy mylotting

Hi vishnumuthu, I dind not follow all that you have expressed but get the basic point.It is that we have to have friends in every walk of life and it makes life easier for us to have someone to share things with :))

basicly people make friends because they have common interests. in real life we say hello to people and maybe chat a little, then we never meet him/ her again, that's explain how things going round here, i think Meanwhile, we might find guys with common interests and get along pretty well, some be our close frinds, some just keep informed. Well, making money by adding friends i'm not sure about that, might just work but making friends might pull some benefit, since creating network is one possible way to make money.

Hi wisename, It is definite that you dont make any money by adding friends,it is only for having a close circle of people with common interests with whom you can interact and take part in one anothers discussion topics , have a relaxed Sunday :))

Mylot is a network to do friends and many things mas, makes very small that me regitre here and for the little that I have seen I believe that this very good thisnetwork, it is new and allows to find of way mas easy persons who coincide with our tastes are interests. And unlike facebook or twitter, in this one they pay you for the activity that you develop in this community. I wait many friends obtain and to be of benefit mutually in mylot.

I have friends here mainly not for monetary reasons but we exchange ideas and check on their discussions. If you have a friend and you live near each other you can meet and have fun, who knows.

I doubt if we can have any monetary gains here by making friends.It is more for interaction and exchange of ideas. I agree with you that it is necessary to have some like minded friends :))

whenever theres someone who wants to add me i just accept their request even without checking who they are or whats in their profile nor how many post they have or they have good responses. its a free site so who am i to reject members who wanted to be my friends. since im here to earn and not to have mate then i dont bother at all.

That seems to be the right thng to do.The very fact that there is a friend request from someone is good enough reason to add them .there is no harm in doing that. I am in total agreement with your views.thanks a lot for adding your views !

Friends are those common interests with you. If you open a topic and you like how they respond ,you see their profile page,you can send friend request. I think so it easier and quicker to find topics in which you comment(to you friend profile) Here they are members with 3-4 years experience ...400-500 friends is less

It happens both ways. Some like friends just to show a long list and some may want to have a few genuine friends with whom one can interact with.I would prefer a smaller group of friends with whom I could develop a good rapport and exchange views on all subjeccts.It will be a mutual learning process :))

I'm just new in mylot. I just signed up a week ago and I have lots of friend requests. I always have a criteria in choosing friends (facebook, friendster, etc). In mylot, I choose friends either we have the same interest or I like what they write. It's your discretion if you want to add them or not. As I read the faq, you wont get any monetary benefits by adding friends. But you will learn something from them as you go on. I hope we can be friends!!!
