Meetup
Chances are you either have a blog, use Facebook, or share information on a
wiki. But when was the last time you met, in-person, a group of people with
whom you share a common interest? That's where Meetup comes in. It allows you
to use the Internet to find people who like to do the same things you like to
do--and then you do them together. The "interests" run from politics to support
groups to social gatherings. It's easy to find people in your area by using
the browse or search functions. Locate meetups by city and topic. There are
about 50,000 groups in more than 3,500 interest areas across the globe. If you
can't find what you are looking for, you can sign up to be notified when a group
is created, or you can create one yourself. There's a small charge to organize
a group, which can be public or private. Each group can post photos, schedule
events, and communicate with members through their own page. Get out there and
socialize!
