Are you on my lot for the social interaction or the money?

Just curious, I am enjoying the "social"interaction and the give and take of each discussion. I love being online and I like people though so that is good, where else could you have the same discussion with a hundred people all on the same topic?

For me,it has to be the social interaction.The money I've made wouldn't buy lunch.lol.I love meeting all the new people and seeing different viewpoints.Here you can meet people from everywhere in the world,discuss the different governments and religions,how different races interact with each other,or why they don't(sad),learn things you didn't know before and make new friends.So,for that I love myLot.

I feel the same way about mylot. Fact of the matter is that I have been a member for almost three months and I have earned lunch money but not much more. However blkcat1 here has been a member for 1 mo and is already ranked over 1000 so he had to have made a huge chunk of change. I do other things on my computer too but Mylot has added a hand cramp that doesn't wanna let go, however neither do i!

I've been on here for almost three months and I am at 281 ranking. That number next to your name is not the number of posts that you have made but the ranking in respect to the rest of the my lot users, that is why if you miss a day or two it goes down.

for me its a bit of both really....the money is great for buying shoes LOL but since I dont go out since moving here and realistically my real life friends are spread out all over the place rather than local to me so online is where I "hangout" in this forum and a few others that I regular..

That is true. For me though I am almost completely a homebody. In fact I don't think I have left my house even once in the last two or three weeks except to go to the gym so the social interaction is a huge component for me!

That seems to be the consensus around here. Some people don't thinkt hat the discussions are engaing or intelligent. I enjoy them!

I joined under an online friend of mine, & found other online friends. I also found more people to be friends with. While I am kind of fussy on who I accept friend invitations from, the ones who I have seem to be good intelligent people (yeah - like you).

And to answer your question about "where else", livejournal and usenet.

To be honest it's not very well constructed for social interaction. And not to sound snobby, but the quality of discourse is pretty low.
So yeah, it's all about the money for me.

There are better faster and easier ways to make money on the net so something else brings you through my lot and keeps you posting and earning. By the way, don't forget helium.com. It is a user content driven article submission site that pays people for posting.
