Is it possible or better to respond to each and every discussion ...

I don't tend to look for the top discussions, but I am notified by e-mail when friends start a discusion. I will then respond to any discussions that I feel I can add some value to. I don't like to try and think up something to say. If I have nothing to add to a discussion, then I don't respond at all. _Derek

Interested Question is this. It is possible to comment and Write articles which can benefit to the people, If you start healthy discussion, it will be responded by every person.. so rather to respond to every discussion we have to make valuable comments or discussion, so that every body could be attacked by this effort.

Earlier when I was active here and would log in daily...I had a routine...first sift through my friend's discussions...choose the ones I was interested in responding to....go through comments in my discussions...then go through the latest discussions. But for the past two years, I come in here on and off and am not regular. Right now, I'm working on the backlog...going through the Digest and checking which I will be interested in to respond....but first I do the ones my friends have started.

Everybody has their own method. Do whatever works best for you.

i do both but it depends on my mood. i usually look at the 0 responses because i dont wanna waste discussions here on mylot.

Hi Kiran, Yes, i do some indulging in discussion review and worse, respond to only one often-because its time to sleep. Phew, the last month or so has been hectic. To come back to the point, I need some motivation to respond. I just cannot take part in a discussion which says' My bf/gf is jealous when he sees me with other boys/girls. Does your gf/bf do the same. I think your idea is good. Let's form a sort of virtual forum where some interesting topics are discussed say each for a month.That way we won't wate time. The topics can be anything even say 'global warming' or 'England's failed bid' or ...well anything but nothing vulgar.

I use the 'New' discussions screen the most (in fact it's one of my Home pages). I don't respond to every discussion by any means. Considering that there are an average of 24 discussions an hour (and that maybe 5% to 10% of these will be deleted for Guideline violations), it would be quite impossible and ridiculous to respond to every discussion, especially as some have no interest whatsoever for me and others are too trite to bother with. I choose discussions in which I might have an interest, and to which I can expect to write a paragraph or two, from the main titles and open a tab for each. Then I go ahead and respond to those I have open. By then, there is usually a fresh crop and I start over. Sometimes there is nothing at all to which I feel I can contribute and I go away and do other stuff for a bit.

I get email notifications from Mylot for each post of my friends. I do those and then usually do the daily Mylot Digest as well that I also get emailed to me. Then after that I go to the site and i go to my interests and friends and see what the top posts are. I need to set up more posts myself but don't do that very often.

Hi kiran, my first preference is my friends. First I try to respond the discussions of my friends.Then I go to the top discussions. I also respond to unknown persons discussions. So that the person may make me his or her friend. But now a days I'm irregular in myLot. I'm missing my friends.

I have actually thought the same thing, especially recently. There have been many times when I have had too many discussions that interested me and not enough time to respond to all of them in one day, especially when I am commenting in many response boxes and trying to keep up with counter-comments. On these days, the time flies by, and I make a "mental note" to go back to the discussions that I found interesting but didn't have time to respond to the previous day. Lately, though, I haven't had much time to be on here. The little time that I have had to be here, I have been having a difficult time finding discussions that capture my interest. I might spend an hour on here and not even type a single comment or response, which really feels like a waste of time. Worse than that, when I do find discussions that I respond to, it saddens me when I check back and do not get a single comment to my response. I know that I still get paid for my response, but that really was not the point of responding. If it was, then I wouldn't "waste" those other days reading discussions without adding a single comment. At these times, I really question whether or not I should change my priorities and just make it about the money and respond to almost anything just to earn a cent or two. Unfortunately, I know myself too well, and I know that would not make me happy, and eventually I would dread coming on here, because it would feel more like a "chore" than a fun interlude in my day.

I would say choose your discussions well. You wouldn't have much to say in discussions outside of your interest and have little knowledge about. You would end just saying "never thought about that" or "great" but with no real meaning to our response. I also give preference to discussions started by my friends after looking at all that interests me. of course with a discussion topic as successful as this one, It would be hard enough commenting on all the responses But I guess if you're well versed in a lot of things, then why not? The more you participate the more you earn right?

I dont think it is possible to response to each and every single post. That will take way too much time. Beside, some of the topic might not be something that you know about and contributing to it might be seen as a spam to some people. So instead, I will focus on a few topics which i have knowledge it and contribute to it.

I often go to the top discussions. I find the topics more interesting than what I have on my list of interests. LOL!

I have tried posting on all discussions without being selective, but it doesn't really work out unless you have extra time on your hands. It's much better to find a post that suits your interests and your knowledge, because this way you get the conversation going, and you have a chance of making a much more productive post. What i usually do now is check my interests first, then i check the discussions under the "discussion" tab. It does waste a lot of time, but i believe that it is better to post in topics you understand.

kiran there are hundreds of discussions so no way could we respond to all of them besides q uality is what pays bot inane responses to discussions that do not even interest you. do less positng and do it better and you will re ally earn, get in a hurry and you just wase your time. better six responsed that are intelligent and understandable then 30 responses of just a few inane words thast add nothing to anything. qu ality is what earns on mylot.what you type that is quality is m uch better than a lot of junky responses that willnot pay you one red cent. quality wins all the time.

As far as my opinion is concern. It's not required to response all the comments which deliver to our articles or post. It depend upon you. If you want to have more activities to do and increase your earnings. You may response all the comments

I just can't respond to discussions I have no thoughts on.

I am a member of several online forums and survey sites. Although this sounds like a good idea (we might earn more) by time I have worked through my notifiers there is little time left for anything else!

lol well, if you have no interest in a certain discussion...its hard to response

today, i am the first time to join mylot,and this is my first time to respond the discussion here, first of all , very interesting. second, i think we can respond to the discusstion that we are interested, because it can express our idea about this discussion and get the same feeling in each other.
