Did he invite you or did you invite him ???  Do you comment on his articles and does he comment on yours ???

 

Is anybody NOT friends with him?  I'm afraid to ask him because he'll think it's just because I think he's cute and rich, and I'm usually WAY above all that.

Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
Is there a Tom, there, too ???
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
Is the internet run by "Toms" ??? !!!!
Kay M. Mar 25, 2009, 9:29pm EDT
He never invited me :-(
Kay M. Mar 25, 2009, 9:30pm EDT
I used to have a Myspace account and I was friends with Myspace Tom
Ghostly Ghoul Mar 25, 2009, 9:31pm EDT
I don't even know who he is...
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:31pm EDT
oh my


EVERYBODY gets to be friends with Myspace Tom - but he isn't as cute (or rich).
Cindy B. Mar 25, 2009, 9:31pm EDT
Send him an invite, he will accept =) I did.
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:31pm EDT
OH MY
tammy b. Mar 25, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
I don't know him, it does seem that alot of guys named tom run things like myspace. Hmmmm maybe it's the same guy.
sarah g. Mar 25, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
I don't know who he is!! LOL I am not sure if I'm friends with him or not...
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
I'm playing hard to get.


I want him to WANT me ... to be SO GLAD such a fabulous novelist is kicking back at his site !!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:33pm EDT
ha ha
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:33pm EDT
He'd ask Anne Rice, I bet. Well, I'm so much better than her.

(maybe)
Cindy B. Mar 25, 2009, 9:33pm EDT
Tom Gerace own's Gather. =)
Wilma M. Mar 25, 2009, 9:35pm EDT
You're so funny: Is the internet run by "Toms" ??? !!!!

I sent him an invitation and no, he has never commented on my stuff.
Kay M. Mar 25, 2009, 9:36pm EDT
Myspace Tom is kinda cute but according to this he may lie about his age. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Anderson_(MySpace)
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:36pm EDT
He'll comment on this and it's my most inane Gather article ever

(my luck)
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:37pm EDT
Oh, Kay, you're SO BAD !!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:39pm EDT
I'm 19
Lance L. Mar 25, 2009, 9:39pm EDT
I sent him an invitation and he accepted.
No he has no commented on my stuff, but he did vote for one of my captions in a funny caption contest.
You've got the right strategy though, don't go throwing yourself at him.
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:39pm EDT
I wonder who's really cuter and richer ... this Tom or THAT Tom ???
Nancy D. Mar 25, 2009, 9:40pm EDT
Awwww .. If it will make you feel any better ... If he is on my friends list ... I don't know. But one thing I do know ... I like how you change your icons clothing ... LOL
Sassy Cat Mar 25, 2009, 9:41pm EDT
why choose? Go for both!!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 25, 2009, 9:42pm EDT
And who has more friends ??? Myspace Tom has a billion friends now and they're ALL his closest friends, too, and by default so he never even has to click anything !!!
Ginger C. Mar 25, 2009, 9:42pm EDT
Isn't he the CEO of Gather? LOL!
Rob Appell Mar 25, 2009, 9:43pm EDT
Tom requested to connect with me...but he's never commented on anything I've ever posted...the little poop head.
Lori Cee Mar 25, 2009, 9:47pm EDT
rob called tom a "poop head". his points will be frozen for a week.
Alta B. Mar 25, 2009, 9:51pm EDT
Who is Tom?
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Mar 25, 2009, 9:54pm EDT
I do not think he is my friend on Gather but I think it was automatic he was my friend on My Space.
Leah Christensen Mar 25, 2009, 9:54pm EDT
I connected with him a long time ago, and he recently sent a connection request to my husband.
Rob Appell Mar 25, 2009, 9:55pm EDT
Hey, he'd better not do that. At least I didn't call him a 'peckerhead'.
Lori Cee Mar 25, 2009, 9:57pm EDT
2 weeks.
Kay M. Mar 25, 2009, 9:59pm EDT
Tom Gerace is definitely cuter than Myspace Tom or Twitter Tom if there is one. (I'm not going to take chances like Rob Appell.)
Jonathan S. Mar 25, 2009, 9:59pm EDT
I'm not Tom's friend.

Is it my aftershave?
April H. Mar 25, 2009, 10:10pm EDT
I sent him an invitation and he accepted. HE posted once on one of my photos, and I usually view most of his content , he removed one of my comments on one of his articles. I also check out the groups he owns, especially tom blog tomgerace.gather.com & Rayv
rayv.gather.com
Alexis Newell Mar 25, 2009, 10:13pm EDT
I'm not friends with him, I didn't know I was supposed to be. I guess we are the outsiders yet again.
M & M. Mar 25, 2009, 10:15pm EDT
No invite here sugar.
donna h. Mar 25, 2009, 10:17pm EDT
I don't know if I am friends....lol..
Kenn T. Mar 25, 2009, 10:28pm EDT
I wonder the same thing... I see him linked up to other Gather members and I assume he has endless capacity for "friendships" here at Gather since he owns the joint.
Yeah, he's cute. He's also local to me (living outside of Boston) but I have not attempted to link to him for fear that he'll think I'm pandering to his youth, his power and his biceps.
Tracy Fabre Mar 25, 2009, 10:33pm EDT
I'm not friends with him, but I did request a connection to (Fake) Tom when "he" was "born". LOL to those people who never heard of the real Tom Gerace. I'm guessing he'd say "no" to connection requests from them.
Jennifer N. Mar 25, 2009, 10:43pm EDT
I'm not friends with him either. The staffers I'm connected to requested me.
Marianne R. Mar 25, 2009, 10:53pm EDT
I invited him
Kushal Poddar Mar 25, 2009, 11:04pm EDT
Tom?

divine dance
.* Sandi * Mar 25, 2009, 11:11pm EDT
nothing here ether lol
dee b. Mar 25, 2009, 11:12pm EDT
I am friends with Tom on Myspace (not that I had a choice lol) Gather tom, is not on my friend list. Hmm I wonder if that helps with points?
Lynn R. Mar 25, 2009, 11:17pm EDT
Is everybody here friends with Tom Gerace but me ??? Yes lol He told us not to tell you. ;)

I invited him about a year ago. I don't go to his articles unless one comes up on my feed and/or I see some sort of announcement. And no he has never commented on anything of mine, probably because it's not worth commenting on. :(

Cute and rich is not a bad thing. lol
phil w. Mar 25, 2009, 11:40pm EDT
How many Toms are there? I'm confused!
Kathy W. Mar 26, 2009, 12:07am EDT
Tom Who?

Oh, I bought a car on Tom's List... but I didn't get any comments except for, "Nice car!" from a guy named Tom Cheesecake at work. I bet there's a GoogleTom, and a Rhapsody Tom-Tom, and even an Ipod, Tom-Tom. There's probably a YaHoo!Tom, and a "My Place" Tom out there somewhere, too.

I wish my name was Tom...
Blessed be,
Wilka
phil w. Mar 26, 2009, 12:14am EDT
Thanks ,Kathy for clearing that up for me!
Ellie !. Mar 26, 2009, 12:49am EDT
You bet, baby! And I Tweet with the big cheeze at Zappos and Starbucks, too!
Ellie !. Mar 26, 2009, 12:50am EDT
I wonder if there any Toms to follow on Twitter...hmmmmmmmmmm
Jessica S. Mar 26, 2009, 1:27am EDT
i didn't even realize that a Tom owned Gather, too... i totally thought you were talking about myspace tom... lol great thread
Marilyn M. Mar 26, 2009, 1:31am EDT
Not me. I think he commented on something I wrote once, though.
William Dotani Mar 26, 2009, 1:32am EDT
We often have high tea together when he visits Detroit. He brings his own bags and likes to sing I'm A Little Teapot in two part harmony while thoughts are brewing. He does not cross the mighty Mississippi because he fears people dancing on tables and drinking boxed red wine. There is also the matter of you wearing a kilt and ...
Janet "Jax" B. Mar 26, 2009, 1:59am EDT
Well, I'm not friends with him, yet....but I'm friends with you Peter...isn't that enough? LL
Janet "Jax" B. Mar 26, 2009, 2:00am EDT
hmm...the o disappeared...it should say LOL.
Ishbel R. Mar 26, 2009, 5:16am EDT
Nope - not me.
☃ Aunt Shanny Mar 26, 2009, 6:26am EDT
I'm not and never have been.

He's never requested one, and I rarely send connection requests.
☃ Aunt Shanny Mar 26, 2009, 6:27am EDT
"he fears people... drinking boxed red wine."

That explains it.
fancy c. Mar 26, 2009, 6:38am EDT
NOPE NOT ME
Walker Bennett, SF Author Mar 26, 2009, 7:57am EDT
I got an invitation from Gerace about 3 weeks ago, just before I received a complaint about one of my posts.
No you are not above all that =D go ahead, ask him, I dare you, do it, do it !

And nope not me either~
WS R. Mar 26, 2009, 9:56am EDT
I'm not. But Tom on Myspace IS my friend. I feel special.
Lori F. Mar 26, 2009, 10:01am EDT
Well PJS since he does own gather I think most people are connected to him. Some are connected at the arse while others are not.

I cant remember how I became connected to him. I think I was drunk.
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 26, 2009, 11:07am EDT
ha ha ha ha ha
Abby N. Mar 26, 2009, 11:56am EDT
This was fun reading! :) Have a fun day!
donna f. Mar 26, 2009, 12:34pm EDT
Oh Peter, and I thought you had been around the block a time or two. I think its obvious, he wants you but doesn't want to make the first move.
Leo Lemmer Mar 26, 2009, 1:41pm EDT
I am friends with him but don't think I've had feedback from him.

Is he really the owner of Gather???? Plese tell me. If so he's not only rich but also smart.
Leo Lemmer Mar 26, 2009, 1:45pm EDT
Forgot to say that I invited him.

Also, I can spell please and know a comma goes after so, but I do not know how to underline a word on Gather. Any help?
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 26, 2009, 3:00pm EDT
Oh, yeah, rich, cute AND smart ... the holy trinity !!!
Sally L. Mar 26, 2009, 3:07pm EDT
I am friends with him...........
August Lady Mar 26, 2009, 3:56pm EDT
I'm not, & I didn't realize he was the MySpace Tom-I think he's my only friend there :)
Elaine B. Mar 26, 2009, 4:02pm EDT
I'm a member of MYSpace, and have a Tom as a friend there. However, I didn't know that he's the same Tom on gather to.
Patty Mayonaise Mar 26, 2009, 5:04pm EDT
really, hes the myspace tom. no way!
Ron Jenkins Mar 26, 2009, 6:05pm EDT
I was his friend for about a week, but he never returned my calls, so I deleted him.
Peter Joseph Swanson Mar 27, 2009, 9:21am EDT
NO NO NO - he is NOT the MYSPACE Tom !!! They are two Toms !!!

(ha ha Ron)
Debra H. Mar 27, 2009, 10:06am EDT
LOL Peter, you are too funny and no I'm not on his friends list
Sandy C. Mar 27, 2009, 11:17am EDT
Not me
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Mar 28, 2009, 2:16pm EDT
Keep your hands off him, PJ... he's MINE!!
Thank you for posting to this group whose only purpose is to thank you for posting to this group.
brynn holt Mar 30, 2009, 1:38am EDT
This question neither interests or concerns me in the slightest way.

Elsie Duggan Apr 4, 2009, 1:47am EDT
