I'm receiving lots of friends requests on mylot, that i normally accept. now i was counting how many friends i have, and there are 39! my question is: should you read all the post of yr friends? or just the ones you find interesting? sometimes i'm a bit concerned about this, i really dont' know if my friends don't ready my post because maybe they expect me to read their as well! what's yr opinion and yr behaviour in this case?

The word 'friend' is slightly over-used here on myLot in my opinion. Rather than a list of friends they are buddies who might become friends over time once we get to know them better. It is obvious that if you have a lot of friends you will not be able to respond on all of their dicussions and indeed not all of the topics might be interesting to you. Just do the best you can and notice who also responds on your and gradually you will realise who is a 'Friend' and who has just added you because they are friend collectors The friend list is a very individual thing and it is up to each one of us to deal with it as best we can. There was a reason that they requested you and you will realise over time what that reason was and then know who is worthy of remaining on your list and who can be forgotten or even deleted. Have fun and happy Lotting!

I don't read all my friends discussions. I look at the title, and if it looks like a discussion that I can contribute to then I do, but many of them are things that I can't comment on. It's very difficult for instance if someone is asking a question about a TV show I've never seen, and there is really no point in responding with 'I've no idea, I've never seen it'! I'm sure that everyone is the same on Mylot.

I actually accept all the friends request. I think if someone want to be your friend, why not? What a happy thing! And to be honest, i don't reply all my friends discussion, because some of them i am not interest in, some of them are out of my knowledge, so i pick as much as i can to answer. One of the good thing to have many friends is that you got more choices to choose the topic to post!

hi pingi, i read all the latest discussions of my friends when i log in to mylot. some discussions are too more difficult to respond for me bcoz these are related to some certain topics to whom i am totaly unknown. sometimes i avoid some discussions which are boring. but if anyone of my friend is facing some problems and they post discussions seeking some advices or solutions, then i never hesitate to respond. if anyone is unknown about something then i post response if i am concern to that matter, i always read your discussions too. but i have not enough time to post and my internet connection is also too slow to work. don't mind dear.lol.

You can't read everyone's discussion on your friends list. if it is a discussion I can comment on then yes.. not to mention if you respond to everyone and respond to those who are responding to yours, you will have little time to do anything else! You do as much as you can and you can even go back to posts that you did not get a chance to comment on.

As far as I am concerned, I usually read the posts of my friends which interest me, and I think if I read the post I do not like, then I would not respond to it very carefully, and this is not so good for them,either. So just follow your heart. If you do not like to do it, then do not do it.

I have about hundreds of friends around from in here and it is growing. I just could not catch up with everyone's posts if that would happen. I just choose the ones that are interesting to read and reply if you can. I also don't bother if my friend's here would read my post or not. It is totally up to them if they want to read my post or not.
