Do you follow everyone who is following you

No, I don't. I have to be able to feel I can relate to a person before I follow.

for me yes, I want to be friends with those who follow me

I have been yes, and the reason I do is to get more discussions to respond to. I haven't seen all that many good discussions lately, at least ones that interest me anyway. Now, I hope that more members join so they can help with the discussions as well.

I choose who to follow . I make sure i have read one or two of their discussions first and try to gauge if they are not those spammers .

I don't do it, I have to be honest. In fact, I don't even receive notifications about who has started following me, so it is difficult to see when I have new followers.

@kevin1877uk Its just been a day here for me :) So only a handful following me n I dont know them... I am following them as by time we can know each other thru discussions n interactions. Guess this is the only way to stay here for long... Most importantly, they are from different parts of the world, with different thoughts, cultures, so overall I will only learn something from them... :)

When I first registered with Mylot some 9 years ago, I was eager to build a list of members to follow and added anyone who followed me. After a short while I amended the list. There is no real benefit in blindly following large numbers. If someone usually posts on a particular topic or subject that does not appeal to me then why bother to follow? There are also many who connect with everyone in order to boost responses, which does not interest me. The whole idea of following is to make it easy to keep track of friends, but adding too many makes it unmanageable. On my recent return to Mylot I deleted the whole list of followers and began anew because the list was well out of date.

I do not. Very selective about whom to follow and how much load of posts I can handle daily. Then there are some I look out for, whether or not following them...

No. I don't follow everyone that follows me. And for good reason. One is, I have to see if I get along with him first. If I start seeing them respond to my posts and we gel, or if I comment on their posts. If we get along, then I will follow back. You I know from another site, so right away I followed you. I am going to try and streamline my connections here and work it forward as time goes by.

I try to follow everyone who follows me. That reminds me. I need to go through the list.

@kevin1877uk Yes of course , I follow back those who follow me .. No matter they respond my posts I know they were busy in their own commitments , like me .. I try to respond all the suggestions , sometimes I fail

You follow me, I follow you! That's what I do! :)

I check the profile first and I see if what they write can be interesting. I would not like to follow a plagiarist.

I do not. But, if someone I am not following is around alot, I very well may follow them back after awhile,.

I do follow everyone, but the truth is, I go to my discussions first and see who has commented on my posts. I also go to Explore a lot.

i do because it helps me read and answer more interesting discussions

@kevin,I just go on interacting here.I don't bother who I follow or who are following me.And in fact,I don't know whether those who actually follow me actually take pains to read all my posts.

You don't have to follow everyone who follows you - I sure don't.

i think that we should be able to follow who we want your right thou you wanna take and get to know that person or something about them to wanna follow them.

no I'm sorry I do not follow everyone who follows me... I read a couple of their posts to try and get a ' feel for' them... so I know if I will be able to relate to them in discussions....
