Have You Lots Of Friends?

I agree with you here, Deeeky. I have so many requests for friends coming into my mailbox that I can't keep up. However, I check them through to see whether they're active in responding to my discussions, or indeed, posting discussions in which I take an interest in, and respond to. If I make a response to a discussion of theirs, I like to see acknowledgement from them. I don't accept "sleeping" friends, with whom I have nothing in common. I vet them all very carefully before accepting them, and if they have a mutual interest and an ability to converse with me on a reasonable level, then I accept them. Naturally, having too many friends on your list is going to render you unable to keep up with their discussions, especially those who post in the region of twenty, one line discussions per day. How do you respond to these discussions anyway? Half the time I'm at a loss as to what they mean, or what value they have on this site.

In the beginning I couldnt say no to anyone asking to be a friend. Eventually I thinned the herd to under 50 who had the most in common with me or posted the best discussions. Each time I log on, I check all of their recent discussions, rate and answer the ones I can, then I go to mine and rate and comment, too. It takes a while, but I think keeping an intettigent friends pool is extremely helpful, no matter what the number.

I was accepting everyone as well but now I'm more choosy. I look to see if they post discussions I'd be interested in, how they respond to other discussions things like that. I really need to go through my list again and remove some. Get it down to a reasonable number.

This is exactly how i think about it, I try to keep my list under 50 now, was trying to keep it under 30 but I get many friends requests from good people that i find hard to refuse ..still I go through my list from time to time and delete all who will post nonsense discussions. when it comes to friends I believe in quality not quantity :)

Yes,of course. i have a lots of friends and i'm happy when i'm joined with all of them!!

I see a parallel to MySpace, where I am also a member, to which I have commented in a posting at my personal blogsite (www.dragonmojo.com/2007/01/whose-space.html#links). Here is an excerpt: "... Perhaps there is a strong sense of community here; I wouldn't know, since I was one of the outsiders back in high school. Didn't even make the Breakfast Club. I personally could not imagine there being much substance to these "friendships" made in MySpace and liken it more to a popularity contest. I use the term "friends" loosely to describe the many fine (and so-so) acquaintances that I have in my past and present life. True friendships are usually developed over time and with some nurturing, with maybe a few rare exceptions. It does not necessarily mean keeping constant company of others but you know it when you've attained it. Or maybe not..."

Hi! One thing I've really come to appreciate about my friends list is that there is always a thread I can join and not get bashed! Before I learned that there are some really mean people on Mylot, I got bashed in some conversations. I know if I join my friends' conversations, that won't happen. :-)

I usually approve friend requests, but have denied a few. I always check their profile first and see what kind of discussions they usually make. I don't always have time to check all of my friends discussions, but I always look under 'discussions my friends have started' and thats where I answer most

No I thikn the point of friends on here is they will read and respond to your topics where as a stranger will just pass them by no matter how good you think your post is. All you do in return for these people are answer their post in return. Its a win win deal if you ask me. I do agree thought they should'nt be using their friends list to promote spam sites.

No, I don't have so many friends because I'm a bit choosy inthis matter.

i hane 35 friends only...but boy they are goo..their discussion is worth an opinion..and their advise are very mature....hapy posting to you dude...by the way im gion to invite you as friend ,i do hope its ok for youpeace!

I think you are right. First of all people have many friends on there social networking sites just to show off. It isnt that they are friends with half those people, and most of them just use auto-friend adders. I have a select group that i hang out with, no one else. Like you said, it just is too much work.

I only have a few friends so far. I approve everyone who invites me to be their friend. My philosophy is, "the more, the merrier!" Of course, it would be very nice if I could choose the number of friends that I would approve; however, I guess in this case, quantity would win over quality. Ü

I have one friend on here and thats only because i was started off with them - im not sure the best way to go about making friends and adding them? Do you just add people without warning or what?

I think I have 70 something although a lot of them I never hear from, I choose who I ask to be my friend carefully but sometimes am at a complete losss why some people want to be my friend but I feel bad when I deny, I started a discussion about it and have had less requests since, I think they theink I'm unfriendly but never mind, the friends I talk to a lot on here are mre important to me.

Yes I do have a lot of friends and so have at my lot also, I have being a member of my lot some 2 weeks ago and I have made a number of friends here, it is interesting for me and I do give responses to the topics posted by my friends and also to the topics that are located at main page and the topics that are listed in my hobbies. Mylot is all for writing; that you post your new discussion and also reply to all of the topics that are listed here, it will be better for you to earn a lot per day and make lots of friends. Have fun :)

no well i am not interested in making lots of friends but i make few friends who are true friends because they are the real friends so it is better to make true friends than lots of friends

I think trying to respond to topics at hand in order to try to help someone is more important than collecting friends. I'm here just to help or maybe try anyway. I've been through a lot in my life and have already helped several move on in their lives.

Quality is the term which matters most.Here one can find lots of friends which respond to discussions and add quality with their responses.Thats why people make more friends to get more responses and increase their discussions quality

Well i think it is really necessary to have alot of freinds at mylot to make your post really active. And having alot of replies so that you can earn better. i am also trying to have alot of freinds at mylot so that my topic can get lot of replies and i am also willing to response them. Can any one really tell me what is the main procedure of mylot to give ranking and dollars, how they justify the post and the member and how they give dollar on which ground. Can any one help me in this? Thanks in Advance
