On my own experience, I can say that I am addicted to mylot more than facebook. I can now shut off my facebook! But then I cannot leave mylot till 12 midnight. I am very addicted with this site, not just because I'm not wasting my time here and being paid to whatever I do but I love reading people's discussion. When I read discussions, I feel that people are just around me, normal people that I talk to everyday. I feel at home here lastly I am very welcome here. I love people here. I hope I meet new people after they read this. Good Luck!

Yes, I have to agree with you. I like this site because it is fun to respond to discussions also I am being paid.. Facebook, I do go on it but I do not actually spend time doing anything except looking at family/friends status, new pictures and what not but that does not take so long. Have a nice weekend! :)

Great post. I completely agree as I told my wife this the other night. Yes it is fun to get paid but it is really fun to see all the different conversations going around and to be part of them. I find myself getting stuck here for hours.

I know many people feel likewise. I have been frequently on/off myLotting. Facebook helps me to stay connected with few of my friends. Otherwise, unless you have lots of real life friends on facebook, chances of real communications are rather rare. I get mails from various related service providers and few money earning gurus. I can easily ignore such communications. There are obviously few great souls with whom I share personal thoughts, but unfortunately not too many. Besides, facebook does not let you connect to new friends (as per their policy). So, these are the downsides. MyLot is more open to discussion and we can talk almost on anything. The best part is that we can expect to get few responses for your thoughts or ideas. Facebook, at times, appear to me like a graveyard! I have told the reasons also. And it just might be me facing this problem. I hope people will come on to connect me both on facebook and myLot after reading this entry.

Mylot let's us meet other people that is one reason why I'm here and to earn too. I have friends from facebook but If i post an articles they barely open it. I think they are busy with their works.

To be honest I have so much to do on the web- about 3 sites similar to this and 10 survey sites. Not that all the surveys come at once, but sometimes there is some catchup to do. So I can't really dwell too much anywhere. I do think that most of the people here are genuine and helpful. I've only been here just over two months, so I am still new, and hope you continue to enjoy it.

Thank you. We should enjoy while mylot is still here. I also need to find a site like this to earn for my schooling, I guess you can help.

Is there anything specific that you look for help with studies? The two other discussion sites that I belong to are SodaHead and Toluna.

Nice to hear you feel this way. And I'm not surprised you are like this because I'm just like you. Only problem is I have so much other junk to be getting on with now with school that I can only come at certain times. I have to limit the number of hours I spend here / on the computer.

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I thought I'm the only one. I am a student too and I made my schedule to come here everyday. At night time after my assignments are done that's the time I open mylot and If I'm at school I open mylot too if I have a vacant time or after lunch. So, that's how I enjoy mylot.

Wow you have gotten 4 pages of responses thats awesome. Its nice that you found a site where you feel at home. I like this site but I do not care for peoples friendship on here. If I add people as friends its only so I can be notified if they start a new discussion that I could be interested in replying to. I dont think I'm addicted to this site but I love earning money and telling people what I think so its a great site for me. I check it throughout the day to see if there are any new discussions that I can respond to. I'm pretty much the same way with facebook.

I'm not at all addicted to mylot. I just regularly visit it to get help from people, help other or just discuss things. I'm not on here all the time either for money making reasons. I just have fun! But I do visit facebook more often than mylot, because all my real life friends are on it, and I want to know what's going on! :D

Yeah! It happens to me, too! I think I am more additcted to Mylot compared to Facebook or any other social network website! If I opne my Facebook or Twitter, I usually only put a status informing about my current condition. Because everything is now so integrated, I just need to open Multiply for example, and update from there, so all my social network accounts will automatically be updated. But I cannot leave a day without posting at least 15 posts on Mylot. I even don't really care about the money I earn (I mean, how much or how little). It's just nice to see my post increases in numbers, and see my income gets updated everyday!

Same with me about twitter and facebook unlike here I can talk to people automatically without waiting a message in my inbox. Money here is secondary and yet I'm really getting addicted.

Hi, I should say that I am addicted to both MyLOt and facebook.I always login to both websites everynight as only night time then I will be free to do my own things. I love to respond to people discussion and share my thoughts here and same time,I can make some new friends around the world. As for facebook, I like to browse through my friends' pictures and also updating their status.SOmetimes, I got some info from facebook which might be useful. I also have chance to keep in touch with some old mates through facebook.

Somehow, I share the same wonderful experience with you. I find spending my time here in Mylot more worthy than in Facebook. Aside from being able to earn, I also love learning from other people's discussions and at the same time, I am able to express myself freely as I begin my own discussions and give my responses to other's discussions. But I did not fully abandon my Facebook account though. I still check it once in a while to keep in touch with my loved ones particularly those who are far away from me. Happy Mylotting my dear. God bless!

I don't think so, if people addicted to mylot? As far as I know people be here because they want to share their ideas, learn and earn also... Much better your being addicted to mylot, than facebook my friend. Because staying more time here will make you good money, while staying in facebook will encounter you bad news and bad people have a nice day!

I don't have much friend at facebook and I feel welcome here at mylot maybe that's why I love to stay here so much. While i stay here I also earn and learn.

I few months ago I was a little busy with my thesis and I'm trying to go back into writing again. If you can see mine stopped (382) comments but now, I'll certainly open this site every now and then.

Great to know about it, my friend. I don't much friend also there. I only used facebook as source of back link because facebook is a good site to promote and earn back link... Well, I am happy to meet you here. Hope we can be friend, and share ideas about making money online... Yup, you right. Here in mylot, you can earn while you learn... Have a great day!

you got it, buddy! we just the same.same thing goes to me too~ i love being here.if you say whether i am addicted to it or not, i admit i am addicted to it.i am not into social networking so much-not fanatic with facebook or whatsoever.but i like being here, discussing, sharing opinion and views. even if i earn from it, every response which i posted here all this while was a sincere answer according to the question or perhaps some of them a little bit out of topic. anyway good luck and have a nice day to everyone!!
