Hint for time saving for your rates

I often start at the beginning of my friends list and comment on one or more of each of their discussions. Sometimes I cannot get through them all. Many of my friends only respond to discussions and have yet to post their own.

When I log in I always start off with answering my friends posts. I don´t always just stick with one and then go to another, because I use the feature "discussions my friends have started" on the left side of the page. The problem is that the posts are all mixed up, some I´ve already answered, others that are months old and it takes time to get through them all. I´ll follow your advice from now on, which is a lot less time consuming. Thanks for a good hint. Dana

This is a very good suggestion and have done that at times with my good friends on here. I have several friends on here that I will try and reply to as many of their posts that I can, that I can relate to or give a good response on. It is definitely a good way to build a friendship on here and knowing that you will get responses as well. I may have to start doing this again. :-) Thanks again for the tip.

As I am perhaps too organized but I answer my favorites first every day, then all the other friends, then when I have extra time I pick one friend and go into their profile and find the oldest discussion and try to give them some new life. This is time consuming as unfortunately I can't see which one I have already answered but I get past that by posting a comment to someone else response... it still earn a point and it get brought into the foreground again. (At least I hope it does!)

That's what I am doing - and goodness, there are so many users, so many posts, ha! Friends would be a good place to start. I request to be added as friend when I see someone "worthy" and whether he does that or not, I go through every post and reply where possible. Then I set the notify to auto so that I can be there to "support" him and help get his new discussions moving. That's the least a friend should do. :)

Wow, now that's a lot of responses. I guess teh question is, what do you do if you don't have any friends. The other question I have is, yesterday i started 5 or so discussions, and responded to 28 or so. Today I have 48 cents. i figured that for each, i should get two cents...so what gives?

Thats what I do. It works out great and once I am finished with all the post then I turn on the notify switch and answer new posts from my email that way I can stay updated with everyones posts.

I actually do that on some Days and if I have a new Friend I will go through their theirs to, not straight away but I do spend a lot of time there.

Hey I like that and Im going to try it on for size just as soon as I get done my laudry and vacumming my livingroom. I wish I had a maid.LOL

I get through my friends list since they come into my email box. I get to them as soon as I can. I work outside the home so sometimes my impatient friends mark the best responses within hours. So as I answer and check to see my response within the discussion and see that marked I am done answering their discussions. I just consider the discussion over and done once that is picked. They obviously don't need me. Anyway, I do see all my friends discussions and answer all that I can in some manner. What are friends for.

I tend to stick to my friends discussions now. I have so many of them and I don't want to hurt someones feelings deleting them..lol When nothing good is floating around I go into some of their profiles and check for discussions there. I wish I could start the whole friend process over again...it would be easier if I knew then what I know now. Of course hindsight is always 20/20...lol

That is a good idea. Instead of searching all over town for topics to answer, that makes a lot of sense.

thanks for the tips

That is a good idea for sure. Won't waste so much time looking for some good discussions. I will have to try that.

It has been a while since I have done a one friend only day, but it might be fun. I have from time to time, gone to look for one discussion from each friend and answered it. That seemed pretty efficient as well.

This is a good method, but the problem I have is that I have a lot of friends who start many discussions that I know nothing about or have absolutely nothing to contribute. I won't post just to post, so I would quickly move through the list. I do this every once in a while if I feel that I have been "neglecting" my friends, but I have never gone all the way back to their first discussions and responded. I think I'll actually give this a try. It's a good way to revive some old discussions and bring some new life here.

I still have a fairly small friends list so i have all my friends discussions go to my email and i answer them in that order. If I don't understand the question, I will try and read others responses or look it up on the net other wise I don't respond at all.

u mean i should respond to my friends they will respond to me .

I was doing that for a while, but then I found that I did not like that. I was missing out on the newer one from my other friends and I really wanted to put my two cents in before everyone else inidated them with theirs. Most of the time people just view the first few posts then stop. Oh well, I think I will try it again, once I catch up with all of my back up.

I thought I was the only one that thought of this. I usually try to answer at least one discussion from my friends on my list. I have quite a bit of friends here and I can't ever get to all of them.
