Discussion Subject, Does it Matter?

I do think that the title and subject matter of the discussion play a part in how many responses the discussion will receive. I also think that the amount of interaction within the discussion plays a role in how many responses the discussion will receive. If there is a lot of back and forth interaction not only between the original poster of the discussion and the responders but also between other responders on the discussion, then I think people are more apt to comment on the discussion. If the original poster of the discussion does not participate and there really isn't any back and forth interaction within a discussion, then I think many members that like to respond and have fun on here will not bother to respond. Those that are just here to "post and run", on the other hand, might be more attracted to this type of discussion, because they won't be bothered by receiving a ton of notifiers with people trying to interact with them.

it matters a lot. this topic was actually good enough for me to comment on. so you must be doing something right :) lol. but anyway ........................ for me, it all depends on the discussion topic/subject and not the mylotter. so it is very important!

Actuallly I think it does....I am not interested in something that doesn't pique my interest....I sometimes have a hard time too....you just don't know where to start!

I think if it's a question and people think, "Gee, I can answer that," then you get more responses than if it's a statement and the person wonders, "What does this person want from me?" So yeah, I think it matters.

I guess so. Subject is the first part of our discussion that will be read. If you make interesting subject that will catch mylot member attention, perhap your discussion will get many responses. Even, some of mylot member just read the subject without read the entire of discussion before make response. Hence there are some responses that out of topic. Even though the subject of discussion is very important and could engage others to be involved in discussion, we should make subject related to the content of our discussion. Don't make subject out of the content.

Making discussions here in mylot is the same like talking to friends... you should make a catching statement so that your friend will be interested to listen for your story. Here in mylot people get into a varied interests. Since we are too many and we wanted to be responded by our mylotters we have to be creative then.

I guess so. It matters for me because based on how I respond to discussions, I would always find a discussion with a good and interesting subject title. I usually get turned off when I read subject titles that wouldn't appeal to me. I do believe that subject matter and title makes a difference in the amount of responses received; such as if your subject generally applies to common things that humans do or experience, the more people can relate thus the more it receives responses based on everyone's personal opinion about the subject. Have a nice day. :)

Hello carolbee, Yes, the title matters when you start discussions. Catchy titles are a hit. Even then you could let the discussion start with the starting of the main body. That would lead us to read the whole discussion. Many of us do that, and get a lot responses as well. Good day.

I don't think it matters too much as long as it's related to the topic of your discussion. If I know the answer to your question, I'll go respond to it regardless of what the title is.

I think it matters.., If you want to catch the interest of other mylotters.., you will have to make sure that you made the title extra interesting.., That's how i choose which discussions should I comment on.., =)

Yes. i think it most important friend. good title will make more people interest at your posting and you can earn more money from this. hi hi
