I love these videos, thanks. They help show why we will be bringing video to Gather and how we expect videos here might differ from those appearing on other sites.

I look forward to knowing Ishmael better and learning from his experiences.

The videos were great...he stressed a very important point at the end by saying that if put in the position that he was placed in it is human nature to try and survive and is not exclusive to one particular place in the world.
