Where do you look first when you are looking for discussions to respond?

I usually check out today's top and hot first, but I think they are pretty much the same, then I will go see friend started and my interests, I look at the new at the end. When I feel like there is not much interests me, I create some discussion that I want to talk about. What about you?

I mainly look for "no responses", "new" or "responded" discussions, so I can keep track of the discussion from the beginning. Sometimes the amount of information that is found in a discussion when you join is so high it makes it hard to join it without repeating information or it takes a long time to read.

My situation is just same like you. But a little bit difference is i can't create a discuss. Because my English is not good. I worried that no one understands what i said. lol ~ So, i just do respond everyday.

I too check out the today’s top section when I log in first. Some days, its OK, there are plenty to choose from but on other days, the top section simply does not have my kind of discussions or a single person has just started discussion after discussion, filling up the first three pages at least (I think mylot should do something about this) and there’s nothing worthwhile. Then I go to the section of discussions started by my friends...after that, I look up ‘new’ and ‘no response’

I start with my email alerts first as I want to start with friends discussions, then I move to the new and or recent tabs. At which point I may start a discussion of my own but not very often. If I am still online, I will go to the no responded tab as sometimes due to the many started discussions some get overlooked. That is my routine.

Very same here.I also check out for today's top first and later see what friends are saying.And then after,if I have some more time to spend,then I'd probably be checking in my interests.

mostly I look at today's top and and recent discussions. Usually I find something worth to respond there. Then I also check discussions started by my friends and finally I look at my interests. There are topics though which I wouldn't know what to respond though, so I have to do some brain work :D

I always start with discussions I have started so I can answer any body that responded to them. Then I check Discussions my friends started, then I will look specifically in the politics section before I post a new discussion to make sure that what I am posting hasnt already been done.

hi mermaidivy I start out with email notifications of my friends discussions then I browse and hit hot and top and anything in the interests that is newly posted. but really I have no cut and dried plan i use at all. I have regimeted stuff when here I can do as I wish and respond to whom I wish to respond to. sometimes I get an inspiration and I will make a new discussion. then I wait eagerly to see if my friends will respond. I have some of the best friends here in all of mylot too.

Mostly at either my interests or the new discussions under the "discussions" tab.

Hi there mermaidivy!!! When I log here in mylot the first interest category that I look at is mylot.com or facebook.com.In this interest category I can find many discussions I can respond to and most of the time they can be easily answered.I also tend to look at them first coz I want to know the latest issues about mylot and facebook. But there were also days when I can't seem to find an interesting topic to respond to.I want to respond to discussions but wherever I look I just can't seem to find any discussion to respond to.I don't know if I am just tired or feeling lazy.Sometimes I also do start my own discussion if there's anything that I wanted to talk about or when I need an advice.

I do the same as you. But there are days that i would purely start discussions only. The next day, will be answering all my discussions being responded to.

I usually read email alerts sent by myLot where I could find the discussions started by my friends and then look to those discussions if I could give a response depending on my interest also. Then look for the top dicussions or my interests. Actually I look everywhere where I could give an opinion.
