I apologize for not being a big contributor to this group yet, I do
have a Meetup slot available.<br>
<br>
Meet up is somewhat costly but it's ability to be indexed by Google is
a great feature.<br>
<br>
Designed by 37signals and just recently redesigned there are a lot of
new features available with Meetup that any group can benefit from:
Meetup.com now has an API system, Meetup locations now use Google
Maps, <br>
<br>
I run and manage a PC Gaming / Video Gaming Meetup group that has grown
100 users within 1 year (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://meetup.earthlanparty.com">http://meetup.earthlanparty.com</a>)<br>
<br>
Allow me to be your "Meetup liaison"; Just give me the word and I can
create the group and elect the appropriate administrators.<br>

Do not get me wrong, I think our anarchical methodologies work for us
80% of the time. Its the other 20% I wish to capture. And I do not
like structure beyond what is enforceable by whitespace.

MeetUp is kind of evil. It works well for a while, and then when you
get around to developing your own application to replace it (someone?),
MeetUp won't let you notify everyone that you've moved to another site.
Instead, MeetUp tells those that didn't get the memo offline that the
group is dying, and they need to pay up the dues to save it. Some poor
guy will probably fall for their bait, send them cash, and end up
supporting nothing at all.
So if you're okay with that... sure. It is probably better than
nothing.
