myLot
April 6th 2007 08:26
A while ago, when I had a lot more free time (because I wasn't working in the day time) I investigated a number of online forums and sites where supposedly you could get paid for discussing all sorts of issues. One of these, Payposter, went down the tubes after someone started some sort of rumour that they weren't paying out the money owed. The thing collapsed in an unhappy heap, with the forum administrator complaining deeply that he'd been let down by the very people whom he tried to help. Payposter is no longer visible on the Net, unfortunately - though it's probably no loss in terms of the endless trivia that was discussed.
myLot (note that lack of a capital letter at the beginining) seems a much more successful set up. Certainly they have heaps of participants, endless discussions (keep an eye out on the 'new' discussions list and it will change every few seconds) and lots of ideas and arrangements for helping people to socialise on it while also discussing trivial, and deep, issues, from How Often Do You Wash Clothes? to the differing values of Islam and Christianity (often with great heat and passion).
I mention it partly to add my myLot User Profile to this site, so that the RSS feed can be picked up on myLot (something they've just begun) which means that all sorts of blogs can be discussed and caught up with by myLot users.
You can even click on here and that will treat me as your referrer to myLot. I haven't bothered with this much, but if you want to click on it that's fine by me!
Oh, did I mention the money you can make on myLot? This was what attracted me to it in the first place. Not. I'm heading towards making my first ten dollars (US, of course) on it, and I think I've been posting for some four months, and have contributed something like 360 posts. Yup, if you want to become rich, myLot isn't for you. However, if you want to get involved in all manner of discussions, you may well enjoy it.
