I've been a member of gather.com since February of 2007 but not an active member until May of 2008. I am building this lens to introduce you to the BEST in social networking!

Gather is a place where you can share posts, photos and videos. Meet new friends while sharing your life, your family, your passions, your rants..whatever you like. (no spamming asking for referrals to other sites and the like, however)

As you share you earn points. Points are redeemed for numerous choices of gift cards such at Borders, Amazon, Target, Starbucks, CVS, Macy's and a lot more. You can also trade your points in for paypal. Below I will share what I have redeemed for.

Gather has many great sponsors such as The Incredible campaign, Harper Collins Publishing, games.com, ING Direct, DK Publishing, amazon and many more!
