Nothing but oppinion here....

* Gather.com sucks. It has a terrible UI. It's like the program I use at work to make reservations at our hotel. No consistency, you have to do half the stuff by hand and end up reentering all kinds of data you shouldn't have to, and NPR shows are hooked into it (Splendid Table - an uppity show but about food and I like the guy for Road Food that sounds like Roger from American Dad....). They keep sending me email. But-- they did help me get a story published so I can't hate it.
