Is myLot consider a Social Network?

It is considered to be a discussion site and in the process a lot more is done - socialising, sharing and learning and ofcourse earning a bit too - an ideal place to spend one's spare time.

For me, it's more of a forum site. It is where you can share your experiences and opinions but not to say bad things about somebody, lest the admin will delete you from it. But we can also socialize. We can privately send message and from their continue friendship outside of MYlot. I like Mylot than any other site.

I don't really think Mylot is a social networking. First, actually I don't know my real friends here. Since my friends are not so good at English and they are not interested in writing in English, too. Namely I just have net friends in Mylot. Second, you can only share the opinions with each other. But you can't upload something to express yourself. Besides, you have to be careful for your posts. As it may be deleted by Mylot admin when they think your posts break the rules. I love China

I joined myLot about four years ago, and I am certainly very glad that I did. This is from many aspects a very unique place to meet, make friends, and work together with wonderful people from countries around the world. It is a community where members cooperate for mutual interests and benefits.

Yeah you are right, MyLot is bit of both. It is up to you; how you want to use it. It is social network as well as forum site. I do like MyLot a lot, because I can share what I know with others and also am I am able to get others opinion on what others think on some topics that I have and as a booster for these, you get paid for relevant discussions and comments. Just like a social networking site, we can make friends too. So, MyLot is a better place to be than just a social networking site.

In my mind, mylot is exactly a forum where we can find a lot of discussions and comments but not chit-chatting. If we read through the discussion guidelines, we are reminded for many restrictions when we are responding or discussing in mylot. The social network likes Facebook does not have so many restrictions when the members are interacting to each other. However, the social network likes Facebook does important to us but I don't think every of the member can earn very much from this social network.

When myLot started out it was designed as a discussion site but myLot themselves suggested "It's kind of like MySpace, only much cleaner" and "it's fun to be a fast growing community!" suggesting that is is a social site too. They say more and it can all be found here: http://www.mylot.com/o/whatismylot.aspx I have an account on Facebook but I don't do anything with it and I find LinkedIn is geared for those who have a business or are more determined in their online earning ventures. I have certainly met and made many friends here and through the discussions have got to know them better and communicated in private too. Therefore yes, I socialise a lot here and it is the only site where I do so. I find that we are more likely to meet new people from other countries and get to know them better than would happen on other social sites. It's more of an international social site because 'chatting', 'discussing' and 'conversing' are all social functions surely? Would we meet people from other countries on the other well-known social sites so easily?
