Topics' titles...How IMPORTANT it is????

A good title helps. Choosing to put a discussion in a large interest group also helps. However, don't put a discussion about "life" or "cars" or "dogs" in "cats" because all that will do is make cat lovers ignore it and it won't reach the targeted audience.. (this is a good interest to put this in BTY) The more friends you have the more chance you have of having responses, especially if they share interests with you. AND Be ready to respond to other people's discussions, people are more apt to respond to someone who responds to their discussion. Also, respond to people who have answered your discussions, otherwise it ISN'T a "discussion" is it? I have unfriended people who "spam" me with lots of discussions but NEVER respond to a response and never respond to one I've started. I have also turned off notifications of friends who "spam" me with lots of discussions I have no interest in.

according to me YES, Title is very important because we read titles on our Mylot homepage where we can see discussions started by our friends, top discussions and discussion from our interests. your title also very catchy that is why I responded to your discussion. our title should be catchy to attract people attention, there are a lot of discussions about Mylot here but if we start same discussion with different title we will surely get attention but after reading the discussion Mylotter may not response but our half work is done by attracting them and make them read our discussion.

In my opinion, a title attracts a reader first. But eventually as they read on, and realized that they can't relate, they would not pursue in responding to it. I speak through experience, ryanong.

Don't worry about it too much coz they are fine. I always write a short title myself. hehhee

What I feel that title comes first even before the topic so this should be as catchy as possible to bring the reader to to page. As far long title or topic, no one is interested to go through a novel reading just one topic. What I feel this should be exactly like you have done that brought me here. Catchy, attractive and worth. Cheers.

Hello,,my friend.and this question is always confusing me.As for me, it is my purpose to put a veru special,shocked title to attract readers.All my stories stem from our daily life.And I hope to discuss with friends all over the world about some happened around us to make more friends.For short or long, it is up to the content of your passage.I think that a brief conclusion of your story could be the best choice of your title. Good luck

I beleieve that it is important to have a good topic title for your discussion. It is what grabs your reader;s attention first. i don't believe that the title is the most important thing but it is sessential. It is the spark that gets things going.

There are times when I read responses and I can tell that the responders did not even bother to read the whole post. They just read the title and respond. It's amusing sometimes to read how far off their responses are...

I think it is important for someone like me coz before i go on to someone's discussion i first read his or her title to see if could relate or not. Sometimes i look for titles that could really caught my attention and read for more details. Titles are really important to seek attentions of some mylotters. It isn't just useful here in mylot but everywhere. Titles are like the framework of the story. :)

I think title for every discussion has important role to make others post on it. i usually goes through the topics first. if i find any topics that interest me or find i have some thing to post then only i open that discussion and read the postings. only after that a post my comment. So if i thinks that this topic is not in my interest then i will not even bother to read the content.

hai Yes,its true that's why i can't post to add some topic what I have started because I don't know if it will be notice by,that's why i focused to scroll and search for the topic what my friends started and then decided to join the discussions,.. have a nice day

I totally agree with you on this one! I myself am an example of looking at titles before I respond to some discussion. Its also one of my problems when I start a post to make sure everyone will be curious about it.

Why can't you revise a title? Editing is possible here, isn't it?
