Do You MeetUp?

I was going through the Realtor magazine and found a page about people connecting. With all the blogs and facebook pages and ways people are getting together on the internet this article was letting people know that you can still meet face to face.

Apparently there is this website called http://www.meetup.com/ where you can start or join a group of like minded people who want to meet up and get to know new people.

So I got on there and looked up my city and found all kinds of cool groups! People who meet to hike, play poker, talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, dance Salsa, do pub crawls, even get-togethers for World of Warcraft fans.

You don't even have to join a "networking" group in order to network, although I did find a Real Estate Professionals group. http://www.meetup.com/portlandrealestate/

Is this one of those things everyone already knows about and I'm just the last to hear?!

Tony and Libby, meetup is very cool and very cost efficient. There are like over 300 meet-ups in Nashville alone and for just about anything you can think of. I belong to a few and try to attend at least 2 a month.

Tony and Libby, actually I do. Our Arizona Networking Group is also set up on Meetup, and I am connected to photography clubs as well. ;-)

I have never heard of MeetUp before, so I checked it out. I was surprised to find that even in our small town there are a variety of groups. Thanks for the networking tip!
