Gathering blogs into one place – "Gather"

What to make of the whole community thing on the Internet? On the one hand, news mogul Rupert Murdoch shells out $550 million for a noisy online teen mall called MySpace.com.

On the other, the Well, a hallowed name among virtual communities, has been on the block for three months and apparently has yet to find a buyer.

Now comes Gather, a new service http://www.gather.com that seeks to bring together ("aggregate," in the lexicon) bloggers. The idea is to tap the exploding blogging community not only for breaking news, but for expertise and commentary in niche topics such as fly-fishing or fuel cells.
