Top Brands Turn to Gather's Free New 'Gather Groups' Platform to Create Social Networks

"People are looking for ways to have meaningful conversation online about the things that matter to them," said Tom Gerace, Gather CEO. "Gather is pleased to join forces with our partners to extend their conversations to custom social spaces."

Launched in February, Gather's free groups service makes it easy for anyone to create a social network, with template designs that meet the needs of brands, bloggers, families, and special interest groups. Gather Groups templates can be easily customized with photos, posts, discussion spaces, videos, widgets, and graphics. Each social space can be as public or private as the creator desires.
