Hi friends, I was a devoted fan of facebook . I found so many of my lost friends there . At night or weekends I used to stay glued to fb . But since joining mylot I am very irregular on fb . I have my reason . I find real life here while it seems all fake and ostentitious there . I don't deny that the earnings here attract me but it is not the prime thing . Strangers have become my close friends . Isn't this amazing ? We discuss what not ? If you are sailing in my boat what are your reasons . Please share I am curious to know ;-)

Here is a much better place! Much cleaner too! I am a member of face book but I only mainly use for the jobs I do. There is so much nasty things there and nasty people I cant stand that and awful language.

I agree with you jaher ... Yes for promotion etc. facebook is OK but now it's too clumsy and people just chit-chat on everyday affair . Sometimes they use fowl languages without hesitation . Mylot is far far better and an elite social networking site .

I understand what you're saying. I like FB cause I am able to catch up with what's going on with my friends who are living far away from me. In mylot though I can express my opinions without actually caring what other people say cause i don't know them. I don't come here often....only when I need something to talk about that I can not talk about with my FB friends. I don't have close friends here though like you but hey good for you :)

Thanks gicolet . I didn't have close friends here before I joined neither I have referrals who are close to me I developed the relationship while participating and discussing with people here most of them not using their real names or identity . It is a strange bond but sometimes fb friends turn out to be outlandish and far-flung. Anyways good that you are enjoying in fb. All the best

I used to enjoy immensely the way we are communicating here in mylot with everyone. There is warmth in the way conversations are happening here in mylot. The money earnings though is relatively small and cannot even cover the internet fees. We also spend a considerable amount of time which will redound to not worth it levels if we think of how we are earning here for our efforts.
Discussions here are highly worth going through. We post about our honest thoughts and responses. This must be the reason why most of us are staying here in this site.
Whenever I have queries that are bogging me or information I may be in need of, or it may advises or opinions, I just post them here in mylot and I can trust that I will get honest responses.
I have also noticed that there are a lot of intellectuals and sensible people here in mylot.

Thanks for your response trinidadvelasco . You are right and the reasons you mentioned are also my reasons as well . The discussions posted here are mostly sincere and well thought . Instead of just gossiping there in facebook on subjects mostly of not much value I think it's worth spending time here as I get exposure to so may topics and my knowledge is enriched and at times I am also able to augment the learning I know . I too place my doubts and queries here and I am confident that I will get sincere replies . Yes you are right there are quite a few scholars and prudent people here . So mylot is the best choice compared to facebook .

i think mylot can offer something that facebook can`t do it..
what is it??
the truly friendship..
i can get many friends here from many country even they never meet me or see who am i..
you can compare with facebook..
we are afraid for adding unknown person to be our friend..right?

I fully agree with you.You have made a very pertinent point here.We really do not want to add unknown people who send friend requests at Facebook but we do add many friends here since we know people here are trustworthy and nice.That is really a big difference!

Yes social networking sites are more a place for show-off.That's why I love being here.This community feels more special and closer to my heart.Though we meet others who stay miles away,the universal human emotions bind us together.In sites like Facebook it is more of style and less of substance.So I prefer Mylot over other sites.I can spend some quality time here and find it engaging.

Facebook does a lot of times seem so fake. Lately the main reasons I still access that site is for playing some of the games there or for Networking. I have been able to find people I have not talked with in like forever which has been great, and have made many New friends there, but there is just not the Feel there is here. Personally I do spend way more time here talking with people about things going on in my personal life for sure.

You see both are different and it is difficult to compare. Mylot also functions as a social networking site, while FB has its limitation. Mylot discussions give you an opportunity to share your views and ideas with others.
Friends here are really amazing and when you are in soup or in a kind of trouble or you need any kind of advice on any subject, they will always come for your rescue.
I am here for pretty long time and it has been a wonderful journey so far and I wish that it should continue as it is.

Hi rolly,
I am not in face book so I think can’t evaluate that site. But I have read many things about facebook, the good side and criticisms, in mylot. I read many people are annoyed with FB and many deleted their accounts etc. On reading all those, I think mylot is always better than FB where we are more comfortable, we can meet good people and the earning is added the beauty.
Another thing I observed from my experience, if we concentrate on one site then naturally we don’t get time to attend another sites with the same importance.
Have a nice time dear.

I do visit facebook on a daily basis, but I don't spend a lot of time there. I will read through the updates that my friends have posted and perhaps play for a few minutes on one of the apps but that is about it.
The thing that I like about mylot a lot better than facebook is that you are able to interact with people more freely and though everyone here is strangers, they are able to give you advice that you really don't get on facebook. Besides that, there is less drama here.

There are two simple reasons. First of all, Facebook has too much mindless drivel. It is an absolute waste of time on the Internet. I don't want to say I hate Facebook. I don't even care about Facebook. It's just that Facebook does tend to be a waste of time. And there are people who take it way too seriously. Facebook ruins too many lives.
The quality of discussion is just so much better. I don't care about what flavor of syrup you put on your waffles or whatever is being posted on Facebook in this day and age. Plus the fact is you can earn some extra spending money for your quality efforts on myLot. While on Facebook, there is just too much mindless deadspace for my liking.

I never liked Facebook, i made an account there years ago but the website i liked the most was Tagged.com
I hate the spam on Facebook and i hate the 100 invites to the same silly game i get from every new friend.Now i go there from time to time to try to make some money with Fanslave but i still hate Facebook and i don`t understand why you have to share everything with the others.
The main reason for why i`m on mylot are money for sure.I like some things on this website and i don`t like others but right now i`m far from being able to say i like mylot because of the people i`ve found here.Maybe one day i will once i will make more close friends but right now i come here because i can earn some money.

I know all of us are glued to facebook its a daily habit for all of us every minute , hours were checking the status each and everyone we find our lost friends and loveones facebook is just a gift in heaven in all of us it gives us entertainment , knowledge , and many more , but in mylot i describe it as a serious site that gives knowledge , fun , and the best of all it pays the hardwork that you do in searching , starting a discussion , make a comment , it pays you dollar and thats the best thing i considerate myLot as part time job .

Hi rolly...
mylot is the first social site that i have joined. I am here because i have found you from abroad and have the opportunity to share our feelings and thinking. I am here to make friends and gain knowledge and surely to solve my problems. have a nice time.

I like MyLot more than Facebook because I can earn more posting here and I have more fun and I just don't find Facebook interesting.

Me? I have fb before but not now anymore. I don't see any reason in staying there. I think mylot is better than fb because we can discuss all about anything here and we are getting earnings from what we love to do. MyLot is a lot better than others. They share their profit/earnings to their members.

I can kind of sort of relate.. except for the fact that I dont and have never actually had a facebook. I would rather be a part of a comunity like mylot over facebook because a lot of the things that go around on facebook tend to be gossiping or just a way to kill time as to mylot where the people do not gossip, they are willing to help and they will give thier honest opinions about things.
