Hello friends thanx for ur responses im happy because i had received good number of responses on my some posts. Im more interested to start a discussion rather its very rare im replying to discussions. So i didnt reach till 100posts. Im able to respond only to the discussion where i can give my best response i dont want to say that thanx or give unwanted response. But i had more topics to start a discussions. But i believe that responding is more better than starting the discussions because still i didnt had star on my profile. Friends how u feel about me whether u like to start or respond to discussions.

naseemkum please do comment back to the responses you get as thats the only way to make money with your discussion. you cannot just write it and post it and not return to comment on our responses as you do not, I repeat , you do not get paid for our responses., we did the work so we get the pay. so you type comments on all the responses you get paid and paid well.I like to do both but I do not start but one discussion at a time as I get about fifty responses and have to comment back so that takes time. I like to respond to others too.

I'd like to respond to all my responses as well, but we've only got a limited time in our lives. So whenever I post a new discussions and I reply to some but not to others, I'm afraid that might be seen as rude. I don't know. I try though.

I love to start discussions way better, because it's easier for me to come up with ideas, and your discussion might be ONe of Today's top so I usually look forward to that, I think your discussioin will be a weeks top discussion, I bet a LOT of people will respond to it.

Most of them look forward to get responses rather than giving responses but the secret it if we respond people discussions then we will get more responses from more discussions.

Hi naseemkum, it's always more fun to read comment added to my response better than to receive words of appreciation. It's a pleasure to join in the topics having back and forth comments. Therefore I always have more interest to share with what I know with such lovely people. We would know who are them if we do our posting here often I do more responding than writing new discussions due to time insufficiency. It doesn't matter in which way we do our posts here. We are paid for sure and you would be amazed to find the difference of your earning if you work diligently to comment in all the responses in your own discussion Enjoy posting and earning here with fun

I can actually do both but every afternoon till evening I am actually slow most pecially when it comes to responding to discussions. perharps i should have rested when i had a chance. but i agree with hatley you should comment on you're responses so that people will continue to cherish and respond to your discussions.

At the moment I'm posting more comments than starting new discussions. Actually I don't have preferences between starting new discussions or to write comments. Until now I started few discussions, but more important as the number is the quality of discussions and responses. Towards this should we target our efforts.

Hello naseemkum, You are just away from 3 posts to get your star.Unlike you i like to respond to others discussions because whenever i start my discussion it becomes difficult for me to comment back to each response as it takes lot of time. Yes its always better to write quality responses as quantity won't earn you money as well as reputation.

I am better off responding to discussions rather than starting one. I do love general knowledge and learning different things that's why I roam around different discussions of my interests. Being a fan of variety is another reason for that. I do start some discussions at times when I feel something I would like to discuss but it isn't often. Yes, that is the disadvantage of not interacting much in other discussions, you can't get your post number moving. Anyway you can just try reaching the best 500 posts to get all the features myLot offers and go back to starting discussions as you like rather than responding. Just a suggestion because I see that the star rating, emoticons and copy/paste features are quite handy to have in here.

I like starting discussions but only when I find something to write about. I'm always curious to see what everyone else thinks. But replying is really helpful too, because then people know what you think as well. Give and take. Give opinions, take opinions.

For me, I enjoy responding to discussions. Sometimes, I find it hard to think of new discussions to add because I am afraid of repeating a previous discussion, or that no one will respond. However, there's no harm in trying right? I just really enjoy responding to see what other people are going through in their lives, and to provide my personal input. The whole social aspect of the whole entire website is really interesting and great: it allows you to see people and meet people that might be experiencing the same thing that you are, and will have a greater understanding of your various issues.
