Gather is primarily a community website which allows it's members to interact through articles, photos, videos and comments.  As with any community, you get a wide variety of people ranging from stay at home moms to business workers.  Gather is large enough that you can find a friend in nearly any... read full review »

Simply said, gather.com started out as a good site for social interaction PLUS an added bonus...points for participating. THEN, as these things so often do, the site began to lessen on awarding points until after a much toted "triple point weekend" one member who downloaded literally thousands of photos... read full review »

    I ran across Gather a little over a year ago and I still am quite active on the website. Gather is a free community in which you will meet a lot of nice people.  I have met a large amount of people off here and continue to keep in touch.  Gather is a website in which you have the ability to write articles, post images and videos.  People then will view them and comment on them.

    You will earn points based off of the amount you particpate onto the website.  The more active you are on the community, the more points you will earn.  You can them redeem your points for gift cards. ...

"Gather is a leading social networking and media site for adults, with some of the highest quality user-generated content on the internet. Becoming a Gather member will not only be personally rewarding, but it can also be profitable. Just for your participation, you will earn Gather PointsTM, which can be redeemed for gift cards to well-known merchants or for charitable donations. Active members may even earn cash!"

I discovered Gather.com through MyPoints; actually they bribed me to join. ;)

Gather touts itself as being for grownups, but like most of these places, you only have to be thirteen to...

Gather.com is a wonderful site for ADULTS to come and join in and post articles about life, poetry, stories, play games, post photography, and in turn others will comment on what you have posted. You also go around and comment on other's postings. You receive points for everything you do on Gather and when you receive a certain amount of points, you receive gift cards that you can use at different retailers from their list. It is definitely a social networking outlet and many good solid friendships are made at this site. People from all over the world are at this site and you can make friends... read full review »

I am new to Gather.com, but already I like the website because it is a great way to connect to members and keep in touch with people with similar interests.  I like that there are so many groups available on this website and it isn't complicated like other social networks.  This website is safe and has a warm feeling because it is so easy to connect.  I joined a few community groups and like that I get an email when someone leaves a message, so that I can easily respond and read the entire message without having to login to the site everyday.  Members can post recipes, photos and fun comments. ... read full review »

     I have been a member of Gather for two years and I absolutely love it.  It is a social networking site that allows users to publish articles on just about any subject.  People can also submit photos and videos.  You earn points by submitting things and also by commenting on other people's submissions.  There is a wide variety of people who belong so therefore there are subjects for everyone.  Most of the people are friendly and  willing to help each other toward their point goals.  The conversations are interesting and quite stimulating at times.  Points earned can be redeemed...

Two years ago, I joined Gather through another site.  At first I didn't have anything to do with them.  It was introduced as a Social Site for artistic writers, bloggers, etc.  I wasn't sure it was for me.  I joined strictly for the points. 

After a month of seeing it in my favorites but never revisiting I decided to give it a try or at least check it out further.  WOW, what a difference 2  years makes. 

Gather is the best social sites for adults, I have ever been on.  What started out to be what I thought a writer's site really is only part of it.  There are those on there strictly there...

I discovered Gather through a member’s article on Associated Content. The site sounded promising. Earn points or cash (this was before the elimination of the checks) for your writing.

During the little over a year since I first joined the site, there have been a lot of changes. Some, such as allowing most members to earn cash via PayPal deposits in addition to the ability to earn gift cards, have been good. Others, such as the recent plummeting of points earned by most members have been downright unpleasant.

Some good members have left the site for one reason...

I found Gather though stumble.com ad It was the best comunity I had found!

1 year and 10 months later I still feel this way.If you write novels ,poetry, reviewsblogs or just[by no way are any of these more important] ther3e a circle of friends to cheer you on ; critique when wanted,and just plain want to start you day with.

Gather, is a user friendly community site  It is free to join.  Allows you to meet people from all over the world.  You can win prizes from contest and earn points for cash or gift cards.

Because of some changes, it now takes alot more time to earn points than it used to.  It is still a fun place to mingle with people. You will always feel welcomed by someone. 

If you are a writer, this is a good site to be on. To post you work, and find relative information.
