I was just wondering how good the name of the site is. From mylot I have gained A LOT. And I bet you have too. And I am not speaking in financial terms, although I have earned some money here too. But what I mean goes deeper ... I learnt a lot, on various subjects and also learnt to appreciate what others think. I am quite a loner and to be honest I do not have many friends. But here you end up befriending a bit with some mylotters whom you regularly 'meet' and discuss with. So truly on mylot I gained A LOT

MY Lot of Knowledge MY Lot of Friends MY Lot of Entertainment My Lot of Financial Gain. Your right, we do earn A "lot" of knowledge, friends, entertainment, and then financially. I wonder if Mylot had that in mind when they named the site, knowing it would become such a success and a welcome place for many who need a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to entertain them for a few minutes each day?

You said it all, girl! I prefer by far mylot to other apparently social sites such as facebook where you really don`t learn new things from other people as we do here.

My Lot is great if you're looking for someone to listen to you and be sympathetic. It is a kind of forum where you become less and less afraid to open up as it is all anonymous and you can divulge what you want. This is part of the freeing up process if you are looking to make new friends and have fun with old ones.

My Lot is great if you're looking for someone to listen to you and be sympathetic. = yes I agree with you. There were several times when I just shared what I wanted to get out in writing here, it helps me express myself. There were other times were I showed my disapproval for something or just wanted to comment about somehting.

I think its a true name for the site and I have also gained a lot, in a short time here. I'm with you on this one for the most part with what you've mentioned. Also if I could add anything I think it would be... I have gained some perspective on some other cultures of the world.

Yes I did too, as there are people from all over the world here. For example I did not know that in India there are power outages on a daily basis! That would be an outrage in my country. I learnt that there are many many people who try to earn money online. I learnt about different educational systems. I also came here to find out about various things, such as movies, books and sites. The information is endless.

Power Outages daily would NOT be allowed in the USA for sure. If that started happening I think it would be because of the end of the world though. Some of those things I did not know or realize either. Good to know!

Wow. We all gained A LOT. I often wonder too where Mylot got its name. At first I thought it would be like our very own personal virtual lot online.

Yes we learn a lot here on mylot. I love being here and learning a lot from everyone and what they think. I have to say that it is nice to know what everyone thinks and how many opinions you can read here. I love being here and yes you are right we do get to earn some money here while we are learning about others. I love the site and I hope that it stays around for a long period of time.

Yes you are right. Mylot hlped me to discuss a wide variety of subjects and things with people from different countries who have different opinions, cultures and views. I also discussed with people of various ages so that had an effect on the way one thinks too. Also, it is great that we get paid for it

I think that the name mylot is a great name for the website. The reason that I think that this name is perfect is because there is a lot of information and friendships to be had on here. However, there is no way that you are able to get a lot out of the site if you are not willing to put something into it. So, it is mylot because there is a lot that you can gain from it, but if you don't put anything into it, you are not going to get anything out of it.

Actually, the name makes me think of an empty lot somewhere....filled up with all the members and their contributions. For each of us, it is "My" "lot". Or, it could be "my lot" in life...lol.

Yes, one can gain a lot here on myLot. It is a good place to come and exchange ideas with different people. One can learn--if they are open to it, one can teach--if they have been given wisdom-enough to share. One can even fall in love, who knows what can happen in the myLot neighborhood? All kinds of interesting things!

One can learn--if they are open to it, one can teach--if they have been given wisdom-enough to share. - I really liked the way you put it. I have definitely learnt a lot from a number of mylotters.

Well yeah i completely support u on this matter. Mylot has not only helped us in earning few bucks for ourselves but has also helped us to get acquainted with many topics of the world and there is no such platform on earth where u can earn and learn as well and Mylot is the exception. It is always fun to be on Mylot and i enjoy each and every second i am on this site. What say?

nice post- are you looking to get other friends in person as well as internet friends? Or have you reached out to MyLotters to see about a meet up? My wife has many online friends all over the country, and even in a few other countries. She has done a sort of roll call and gotten a group of local internet friends together and now meets with them every few months in addition to chatting with them online. Or do you prefer the internet friend aspect because of the anonymity? I myself prefer to hermit myself, I am working on being more social myself. Glad to see that you have a positive outlook Cheers

No I personally prefer to make new friends online but although not impossible, I cannot imagine ever managing to meet up in person. Mylot hlped me to discuss things with people from different countries who have different opinions, cultures and views. I also discussed with people of various ages.

I am the mylot since last 1 and half year but when I was new no earning in mylot because not understand the working way. So loose my faith from mylot and wants to leave it but some mylotters helps me and teach me how can work in mylot. I feel so happy I am the member of mylot site. Since I am continue working in mylot and take break for some months whenever offline work is necessary. In this years I gain lot from mylot. My English knowledge improved, typing speed, communication confidence all. So I always say "EAST AND WEST AND MYLOT IS BEST"
