This is such an exciting time to be a part of Gather! The community is growing like crazy, people are connecting around shared interests and passions, and all the buzz and excitement is drawing extraordinary people to the site. TODAY I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to some of them.
(1.) She is a Tony Award winner, a Grammy Award winner, the host of the critically acclaimed NPR program JazzSet, she is Ambassador to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization and now, she is also a member of Gather! Please join me in welcoming legendary entertainer Dee Dee Bridgewater to the site! I invite you introduce yourself to Dee Dee, connect with her, and read some of her amazing articles by visiting her namespace at ddbridgewater.gather.com.
(2.) I’m also really enjoying my connection with FOX News TV analyst, Laura Schwartz. Laura is an amazing writer and talent. She has a terrific style and presence about her… and her weekly additions to Gather are just downright smart and entertaining. You can read Laura’s stuff and comment on her content in her group, laura.gather.com. If you’d like to know more about Laura as a person, or connect with her on a more personal level I suggest you visit her namespace at lauraschwartz.gather.com. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed one of her most recent articles entitled, “The “O” Factor or the “Zero” Factor”… it’s all about Oprah Winfrey’s effect on the red hot race for president.
(3.) Finally TODAY, I’d like to introduce you to Gather member Jill B. Gather is thrilled to have Jill hosting the Parenting group (parenting.gather.com). Jill is a mom who loves to cook! Learn more about Jill and connect with her at jillbcooks.gather.com, and be sure to read and comment on her articles at parenting.gather.com

Spartan, is Laura fair and balanced, or just tainted with the "Faux Noise" and the O'Reilly landfill? I read her article on Fred Thompson and it was quite perceptive.
And Spartan, everyone has a lot of comments as to who Fox News represents and whether or not they alienate others and if they agree - but for me it has been a great way to introduce what I call "Political R&R: The fine line that separates political Rhetoric and everyday Reality" to a lot of folks out there. So I love my job at Fox and I have really enjoyed Gather and its community so much because I get to talk (write) back and forth with a lot of you and it adds to my insight and many times I reference the Gather community on Fox News Channel and what you're talking about in my articles. So thank you and I hope you check it out some past and present articles at laura.gather.com!
We all have a voice!
Laura
