Why is Mylot so different then other social websites?

Awww-I'm sorry to hear you haven't made too many good friends here. Actually it's the opposite for me. I rarely get friend requests at Facebook, MySpace, but do here, but then I've been here a heck of a lot longer (yikes three years)--going to PM you I'm actually in contact with a lot of friends here by private email. I find MyLot a whole lot better to mingle with people cause you can really interact with people better than at Facebook, MySpace (least my opinion)--and forget Twitter. I joined there and can't figure that one out...LOL

I joined Mylot a while back because they are a paying social website. there was no others that paid so well back then. I like it here because a few of my friends are here and they pay on time.

I would say that you probably joined this site when there was a bit of turbulence going on. There have been ups and downs but I've tried to avoid them, with some success. However, there are a lot of good, people, including friends of mine who have gone from here for whatever reason, and only a few have returned. I've been with Mylot for three years now, and initially, I made a lot of very sweet friends. We always looked out for each others' discussions and even chatted in PM from time to time. They did and still do leave comments on my profile page when they didn't see me around, and we were like one big happy family. But, the wheel turns... things happen and some of those friends leave the site and move on. I, personally, love it here. Apart from my own social networking site, which I try to keep private and free of agitation, this is my favourite site. I belong to Facebook, and other sites, but none hold the magic of Mylot, even with its ups and downs. I think I'm here for life, if the powers that be allow me to be, so if you're looking for a friend, I would like very much to join your friends list and have sent you a request. By the way... I can't get on with MySpace... it doesn't like my computer! lol. Brightest Blessings.

I have never had any use for any of those social networking sites. How I came to MyLot was because I was doing some research on the difference between 'blackstrap' molasses and 'regular' molasses and one of the articles I came across was written by someone who wrote so humorously that I read a few of her articles, and one of those was about MyLot. I was intrigued and signed up under her referral link. Later on I decided that she was far too 'fear oriented' for my taste and deleted her from my friends list. I do not have such a trigger finger anymore when it comes to the delete button but I still am very particular about who's on my friends list, and for the most part I only keep those that I have interesting or funny exchanges with on my list. I am no longer intrigued with MyLot though, I am bored. I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the human race are dull clods that I have no wish to associate with. I have made a few friends here though, a very few... especially when you take into consideration that the MyLot population is spread across a few continents! Those few friends have definitely made the experience worthwhile, and I have actually had some good fun here, so it has not been in vain. I even made 50 bucks once! I don't know what you're complaining about though... your discussions receive WAY more response than mine do!

I hardly think anybody is here to make good friends. Even if one gets a friend request none bother to know each other over here. But the discussion part along with the extra income people get at mylot makes it different from other social websites... Everyday discussions, responses and comments make it quite interesting. Even when I am not earning much I am logining in here as it has become an addiction for me. This addiction part makes mylot different from other websites... What do you say?

youtube got me ban so I get 0 request on there. If I am lucky I get one request a month of myspace. Same for facebook. Just joined here and hope to earn a lot of friends and hopefully a lot of money too.

well I been here about 3 years just takes time to build a list of friends and then I dont know how some pick me to be one. Now I always try to answer ever post I get as I get them thu emails. I dont do those othr 2 I am to busy here. Maybe ya need to ask for more friends when you see a post you like. there for awhile I was getting requests all the time they have slowed down but then they will pick up again later. I dont see you here to often maybe ya spend to much time in the other places loololol And I am here for the friends the money is extra. also you need to put notify on all your friends ya have here. Might help. HUgs

I think the design of Mylot is very friendly. And it has a good reputation because it does pay for you if you can reach the minimum payout. And the admin is very nice and will respond to your questions soon. Most people are friendly, here. I like it. I love China

Oh I like it here better then myspace as I never go there anymore. And here you have to be careful about the friends. I'm learning that. Some are collector of friends. And they never respond to what you ahve to say I try and at least show a effort to respond to my friends. I am finding it harder to do so the more friends I get but I still do it. But you have a good day. Your friend onlydia

i can't answer this I do not belong to any other social sites. I don't expect close friendship from friends made on the internet.. But I have found some interesting people, that I would like to know better.

Mylot is different because you get paid for what you're doing and it's not really pointless being on here. I don't really like social networking sites because I see all of my friends basically everyday. That's why I use mylot most often because I can earn a little bit of extra money.

ahw. same for me. lol. i always get a lot of friend requests, testimonials and all that on facebook, friendster, multiply, and somehow on myspace. but here, it's just so different. maybe because some people were just here to help and not to indulge themselves from having a great friendship online. so we rather understand the way they are than be negative or something, right? so yeah. glad this one may help. thanks for the post.. :)

I haven't been here in myLot that long but I could say that the experience I'm having is quite different from the other social websites in a positive way.. Having said that, being a member of myLot gives me more freedom to interact to my fellow myLot users and gives me more opportunity to express myself by speaking my mind out with regard to the topics of my interests and those that I can relate to.

that's nice... help me so much

well, i'm not too sure about that for i dun belong to any other social networking sites, except for mylot.. lol =D I will rather be spending time in mylot because this is the place whereby i get to meet and know alot of new friends from around the world.. ON top of that, we know each other based on our interest as well as we have common topics.. hehe ^_^ As for other site like myspace or facebook etc, most of them only wanna make friends, just to boost the number of frenz they have, so that they are able to show off, how popular they are, when they themselves dun even know a handful of them.. lol =D

Hello Cassandralynn, First of all, I have to disagree on the 'small' amount of money paid daily for posting quality content. I generally get 10-20 cents a day for posting on MyLot, and that's with only responding to a couple of discussions. If you compare that to Triond, for example, which pays like a constipated slug, (unusual analogy, I know) you're making the equivalent of Bill Gates on a rampage. I was amazed when the money started rolling in; Triond will pay literally cent by cent, not necessarily dollar by dollar (if you're good at MyLot). Bukisa isn't great either. Also, MyLot is different in that you RESPOND to topics and things like that. Money comes in faster than places where you submit articles and wait for comments. Sure, there are blogs and tasks, but from what I've seen it's mostly focused around discussions. It is admittedly not as successful as Facebook or MySpace for example, but they're primarily run by teens with too much time on their hands. Facebook is great for connecting with friends, and I admittedly have more respect for Facebook than MySpace, but the overall audience are mostly teens. I don't know why you're getting crickets, sorry about that (:D)...The most I can guarantee is that I'm not one of those people - I'll be happy to respond to anything you send me, as long as it's not excessive spam. And don't worry, you're not alone as well- I have just started and am still getting the hang of MyLot, but I'll expand slowly but surely... Apart from that, I think MyLot is great- it certainly blows Triond into the water, that's for sure (in terms of payment and activity). -Fresh Writing

sorry to hear that....u havent got good frnds over here... But believe me, when i joined this site my solo motive was to earn money online, but after participating in 2-3 discussions I became so much attached to this site. And I have got 6 frnd request right away within 4 days of making my account.... So its never late be dedicated to whatever you do and you will see good results yielding automatically.... ~Cheerio~
