Do your MyLot friends read your posts on a regular basis?

I at least look at my friend's topics. They're not always about things that I'm interested in or know anything about, so I don't always reply. Also, since I have a full-time job and a baby I don't always have time to respond to every single discussion my friends start. I think it's unfair to expect your friends to respond to your discussions even if they don't really have anything to add. More than that, it encourages short posts that don't really enhance the discussion overall, just to be able to say they replied to you. If you are replying to your friend's posts often, and they're not yours, you could just shoot them a message asking them to check something out for you. As long as it's only once in a while and not every time you start a discussion, I don't think most people would mind this. If you're like me, and have some mylot friends you haven't even really talked to much, then it might just be that they're not really interested in the same things you are. There are people on my friends list that I'm not sure I've ever replied to yet, because they friended me without my knowing why, and I just accepted them. I do keep watching for them to post something I find interesting, but I'm not going to reply to just anything if it doesn't interest me.

I have a small core group of friends that tend to consistently comment on all my discussions, and then the rest who comment on things that are of interest to them. Either way, I always have people who will respond to my discussions. And I try and respond to any discussions my friends post that I have something to say about. Sometimes I just don't have a response, though. It's really all just luck.

I am like you , loads of people have asked me to be friends , the ones I chat to most always read my discussion's and I theirs , I think that's the only way to get on here on My Lot xx

I normally try to read all my friends' new discussions and reply to them if I have something to say about it but when it comes to them replying mine I don't get that much responses, don't know if it's because some of my questions doesn't fit them or something but I normally don't have much people replying on mine discussions.

I notice a lot of my friernds do read and answer my posts as I do theirs. I dont want them to respond just to give fast answers, though, I'd like to think they are giving me some good content. Thats how you get to know your friends better. They dont have to answer.

I always read my friends discussions and responde to most of them and i also make sure that i rate them all, i also go through all the discussions i've written and reply to everyone who has replied to me and denote the best response to my conversations. It is nice to get replies from your friends and from others who in the future could also become your friends. Post good eye catching posts and see your reply's. Good luck have a great weekend.

They occasionally do and not on regular basis. I send weekly newsletter, enquiring about their performance and the help in some areas required. Sometimes they respond. But it is not effective even on reciprocal arrangement.

I'm not sure how to get the friends to respond. But I know what you're saying. I know that I regularly go to my friends list and see what they've posted. I only respond if I think I have something worthwhile to say on the subject. I know that if I picked them for a friend than its because we have at least one thing in common. Like with you, I know that you're a writer. I'd look for posts that concern writing. Along the way, I may see other questions of yours that intrigue me. It only seems fair to help your friends along.

oh yes my friends do read my posts on a regular basis, well what I did was to send a discussion about why do they want to be my friends when they want me to respond to them but not respond to me. I believe in working in a team you know like you scratch my back and I will scratch yours, and after that I have had no problem. Oh I certainly know I write down their name if I get feel that they are not doing this and then delete them by the morning time there is another friend as they know this is how I operate here. If you would like to be my friend I would certainly respond and I would expect you to do the same not every single one but to work together that way we earn more.

I think this is a tricky question, because I don't know the actions of my friends lol. I'm hoping they do. But I can't be sure. As for myself, in terms of being a friend to others, I try my best to read and respond to others discussions. As for your question about how to get more friends to participate in mylot, try responding to their discussions and maybe they'll payback the favor.

I guess they do..!

Not really. Most of them are just new-friends, so there isn't a real connection between us just yet :)

No, my friends do not read my posts on a regular basis. but yes when sometimes they read them, that makes me happy enough to post more for them.

I just joined here today and I don't have much friends i just have a few but i don't read their posts and i honistly don't see a point in a firends list on here either. Now that I think of it though i guess you could use it to keep in touch or what ever but other than that i don't see much of a purpose in it...

I always read my friends posts as I am always interested in reading them but i will only make comments to the topics that I know something about or can give a good answer to. Sometimes the topics do not relate to me or do not know anything about the subject so I will not answer those. Friends do not or are not required to respond to every post by other people in their list or the ones not in their list. I do read all my friends posts and reply to the ones that I can give a good answer to.

I always check "discussions my friends started" first. I don't reply to all of them, but to all I feel I can contribute to. There will, naturally, be some topics that don't interest me. For instance, one of my friends asked if my dog does something, and I don't have a dog, so I can't contribute to that one. Because I am on a monthly download limit and ploughing through many pages uses too much download, and also because I am now on a limited time factor, I deliberately keep a smaller number of friends: ones I can relate to. You ask for suggestions to get more friends to participate. My suggestion would be that you choose your friends carefully: ones who will contribute to your discussions, and whose discussions you can contribute to. That way you will help each other.

I read & comment on the ones I can. Some of them I have no idea what they are talking about. In cases like that I feel as though I have nothing to thoughtfully add. I would rather not saying anything than leave a 2 word response.

not all of my mylot friends posts on my discussions and i respect that. i think they dont like my discussions.

I try and read all of my friends comments as much as possible. I know one of my friend just comments like mad one right after another. I think a lot of times it's nice to read what there opinion is because it lets you get to know them a little bit more in a different veiw.

I don't know about my friends. But I read a lot and respond a lot in my friends discussions. Probably to get more of your friends to participate on your discussions you have to participate a lot in there's too. Just my point of view. Coz I noticed that my friends post in my discussions when I post in theirs.
