I do Activity first because it requires less thought. Usually I read through all the new posts and then decide if I want to reply. Questions usually require me to think through things a little bit more.
I’m like Perchik, I look through the questions, then activity, then questions for me. Basically for the same reason. I decide what I want to answer, then think about it while I check on what everyone else said about questions I answered.
@monsoon: Fill out your profile. That’s how the fluther gods know which questions to send you. (I know it’s some sort of computerized thing, but I like to imagine sferik sitting amongst stacks of papers trying to keep track of who is expert in each area, and then forwarding each question.)
Activity, comments, and questions-for-you rarely suit me. I need to choose new keywords, and drop the iPhone keyword especially (even though I had my iPhone since zero-day and done everything under the sun to it.)
I’m like Delerium: Comments, Activity, then Questions For You… then (time permitting) I go through all the questions, because there have been some that I was interested in that did not get directed to me. Once there was even a question posted specifically for me, but they spelled my name wrong, and the “Topics” they used didn’t correlate with those in my profile.
In fact. I find the “Topics” to be a bit of an issue in Fluther, because there doesn’t seem to be a consistent use of terminology. And since we know that spelling is questionable among the general population, I do see misspellings in Topics which also means the questions will not be distributed as intended.
