Do you give importance to your online friends?

ofcourse I give importance to those people who treat me same., but I ignore those people who doesnt treat me nice, anyway in any social network example here on mylot, I treat everyone nice, I treat them all same, because for me, if you treat that person nice, he/she will treat you same, :D, in sharing personal information if you really know that person then you should share, then if you dont know him/her personally then dont treat him as you're bestfriend, cos in social network, there's no security specially on your personal information and contact informations

I have hundred's of people that I associate with online because of various sites that I am on. I also have writers who send in stories for my newsletter. It is impossible to be good friends with everyone, so there is a select group that I am really close to that I share my life with and they do with me as well.

It usually goes like this. I meet a new person here and we respond to each other posts . In time we become good friends and then I fear we may not connect if My Lot is down so I send them my personal email. Then we connect both ways. But even with that said, there aeew many friends who I use connect with here. And sadly others that were friends but are gone now.

i certainly do,there are some friends who value my remarks highly and interact with care and passion,but still there are some who are just here for the namesake to timepass.i hate them,so its in your hands to decide to love or detest them anytime

Yes. occasionally we make online friends as real friends. there a few people from among mylot also. But a few mylot friends do not share more info like email id, phone number though they live in the same country. it differs from person to person. if any mylot member asks i will give my details because they are right ones only and no problem for me.

Hey Vidhyaprakash, First let me answer your question to the point, " I do interact a lot with strangers through social networking or semi social networking sites, but the fact is that i haven't given a single stranger i met through these sites my personal details except my name , country , age etc. " But i do have seen people who do this lots of time. I have read somwhere recently that " A woman who gave her phone number to a stranger who was very close to her in social networking sites, this man published her number in an online p site and she started to get many calls. People were talking in a dirty manner. I don't feel well about this. At most, i will give my phone number ( if i am that close to the user ) and no matter what i won't dare to share my address or anything with them. Anyway, its your wish. Happy lotting.

In my opinion, online interaction should never replace interpersonal (face to face) interaction. Thanks to internet today, many can connect and interact with so many through social forum, social network, instant messengers, etc. Some of us can have varying level of positive emotion that they can get so involved with any online interaction. Somehow, one still need to be cautious that scammer, spammer, phisher(probably not the right word) are lurking around. I prefer to have online friends for a certain purpose or certain interest. If I have a personal problem, I talk to a friend that I am comfortable with. Somehow, some people at mylot post their issue and such. It is not wrong, but again not everybody has the interest or comfort to just post their emotions to potentially thousands of people. Going into privacy details, I would provide limited personal data if I have dealings with certain online connection. For example, if you happen to ask someone from mylot or any other online places to provide services or vice versa, you would need to get the feel whether the services are real, not fabricated. Payment may have to delivered before the work is completed. Another kind of giving out privacy details have to do with dating. I prefer not to dwell with this so much. Still, each person needs to be careful to a certain degree.

We know that the internet can be unsafe sometimes. But sometimes you can feel that a certain person you met online can be a real great friend. I think you should limit providing information about yourself unless you have the gut feeling that the person is a good one. I have not really connected to anyone here at myLot except for one which I have just sent a message to yesterday. We have not shared personal infos as of yet but I am looking forward to know more about her.

Hi VP Online world is surely not safe, but its not same for everyone. If we know some friend since long than surely we can share some details like email address and fb account. I don't think there is any unsafe in that. Like this way we can interact and stay connected more easily. I have already few good friends here and on few other sites which are very very helpful to me, and yes I have shared few details with them. So I think there is nothing wrong in sharing such detail, but yes those shared personal information should be limited.

Yes I give importance to my online friends some facebook friends and some mylot friends. Share your Id if possible. Not necessary to share personal think but we can touch in contact with mail if not active in mylot.

For me, i give importance to online friends especially this I met a friend, we became besties.She gave me her contact number.It's been 4 months now we still keep in touch online and texts even we are busy with the things we do. We share happy moments even our crappy days we talked about it. Sometimes there are some real, true and good people online but only give your trust to those people who worth trusting for.

Maybe if you have interacted for that long and frequently , guess you can tell the character of that person , if can be trusted or not. When you constantly interacts to each other , you would feel the bond and from there you can tell if you wil share your important accounts or not. How about you ? you did not tell your stand ?

Every thing are like the two sides of a coin. Having online friends also such thing, and I would like to mention that in some instances it is a great opportunity to have single online friend for relaxation, build a relationship between each other and so on. But as the other side of the coin it would be harmful in an instances where it is acting as a way to invade our privacy.

Pretty much, if I've never seen a person in front of me, I'm not sharing too much with them. I definitely don't condone sharing personal information with online friends. It's just way too easy to lie on the Internet.

Am I paying attention to online friends and give them importance? Well yes, I do care for my online friends though we never meet in person. There are friends that are really caring, and though you don't have relationship in the real world, you feel that they value you just like any other close to them. I shared my number, my address, my work address, and everything that he or she is interested about me. Knowing a person will just make your relationship or friendship grow. Sometimes, my way of knowing that this one can be trusted is through my impression at the screen. Yes I have such kind of feeling. I have a friends, though she is not a myLotter, I even share my beloved blog's password, she can do anything there, from the html codes to post, I do that because I know she wont do anything against my will!

hi vidhyprakash 2 I have little to hide and my closest friends on mylot I have learned to trust very well.those on my list that are not so close to me I share only if asked and it does not make me feel uncomfortable to share with them .my life holds few secrets so am not afraid to share with my closest mylot friends. I do trust them and I am sure that they do trust me too.

hello vidh, I don't easily give or share my email id with online friends, not my contact number either. It's better to be safe than regret later.

hey vidhya, i love getting along with online friends and sharing my personal information, you wont't believe my best friend with whome i am friends with more than 10 years is an online friend to whome my brother goes to tution, but though i do GIVE alot of importANCE TO MY ONLINE FRIENDS BUT ALL CAN'T BE TRUSTED AT MYLOT BECAUSE MANY OF THEM JUST TRYING NICE WORDS TO EARN THAT IS WHY YOU CAN'T SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THEM. I don't think its safe. You should give time before you trust them.

i think it's ok to share your contacts to your online friends as long as you have the guarantee that they mean you no harm, but it's best to bee alert and sensitive in your surrounding. remember that everything is made possible by the technologies these days. it is with your strong will if you'll give your info or not.

I'm an active user of facebook. And yes, I do share my information. My email addresses and even my phone number. That is because I only add people I know. In my 5 years on using facebook, no one has ever tripped on me. But of course, you should still be careful. It still depends on the site and the people.
