adding to my interest page

It seems that some of the interests that I have do not belong in any category that is provided on MyLot. Like news events, etc. I was just wondering where everyone puts their interests that do not fit into any of the categories provided.

Your interests only mean something when another human user look at your page and decide if they want to be friends with you. So I would say - just go ahead and create your own categories. If someone reads your profile page, they will understand you anyway. It is the tagging that is more important - make sure you tag your discussions accordingly so that like-minded people can find your posts amidst many others. Hope this helps. ;-)

Ah ok so it's really the tagging that categorizes the discussions. Well, I am glad I do that. Thankyou for the response; it makes much better sense now.

Yup yup, so as much as possible, give meaningful tags. When tagging something, put yourself in the shoes of the person doing the searching - what keywords is he liking to use? PS.: Thanks for marking mine as the best response! ;-)
