When you visit someone's MyLot profile, do you read their most recent post? Or...

When I visit someone's profile that I haven't visited for awhile, I tend to visit their most recent post first. Maybe it's because I'm lazy. I've noticed that when I hear from someone I haven't heard from in awhile, it's often not on my most recent post. Maybe they stumbled on my post "off to the right," or on some list. Or maybe they scan my "fairly recent" posts for what's most interesting to them. Do you have a "strategy" in this area?

All of the above, but usually see how many I missed if I follow that person and have I been busy when they generally make a post.

It is difficult to keep track of all friends. Especially as older myLotters, we have so many. So I tend to do the butterfly dance...go to a post and poop in their boxes. Then, if I feel I have not been to their profile, I go to profile and check a post or two that interests me.

Nope. No strategy. In fact, I rarely visit profiles.

Yes, I usually read their most recent and comment on that. Is that a strategy?

I should use a different word, since I'm really referring to "what comes naturally." I just checked. I visited someone's most recent post, made a comment, and then visited someone else's post who had also made a comment on the post I had commented on. Does that make sense?

You do? Do you ever have any luck responding to posts like that, vanny? I think we should try dirtying one of pony's discussions. Do you think he wants to have some fun, too?

Since I'm here almost every single day I don't visit anybody's profile. What I do is I go to the people I follow's discussion. I am lazy too like you. When I'm done with them, I go over the most recent discussions.

I usually read the most recent. If I've already read that post and commented on it, I will check to see if I've missed any, and read those.

I often wing it too. Right now, I'm looking at/responding to comments I missed on this older post. Right now, I'll see what your most recent is, then I'll come back over here after "observing" what I do naturally (without thinking about it).

Express themselves about what? I like to discuss touchy issues (God, politics, race relations, musical preferences), but I'm hesitant to get too personal.

Or sometimes I just scroll down, like I did this time. I always figure there is something interesting farther down the line. I don't ALWAYS scroll down. But I do it often enough.

I do the same. I might view the most recent, and then scroll down for something "in my wheelhouse."
