The real world of Meetup

Social networking is on the hype, since the huge success of Facebook and Twitter everything is oriented towards socializing.

You go to any website and you are told that you friends liked this or liked that.
Everything looks good, however everything looks virtual...

You meet people online, that's nice! Yet, for you they are still a bunch of avatars and few lines of description. Communicating with people who are thousands of miles away is appealing but the chance to meet them face to face is really slim.

This is where Meetup.com comes into play. Meetup.com focuses on people around you and in your local communities.
After all, may be the most interesting part of socializing is to really meet, face to face, with the people who are online.
People thousands of miles away might be interesting, but people in your community might be interesting and useful too.

Meetup.com offers you this opportunity to meet with people in your area through thousands of meetup groups usually classified by interest. If you like music, arts, gaming, or you are an entrepreneur you surely are going to find a meetup group in your area.

These groups organize periodical meetings, so they move you from the virtual world of the internet to the real life, where you can really see the persons, talk to them, find out more about their personalities and who knows may be you can find among them the love of your life, a new best friend or a future partner for your business.

Here are few interesting quotes from meetup members:

"Was my first time, I was really pleasantly surprised by how open and friendly everyone was, and what a good mix of ages, nationalities and people! Will def come back, thanks!"

"I had always great surprising encounter in this group. The open, friendly and international spirit makes this group a great place to come after work ! Your muss try it !"

Thanks to Meetup.com social networking is not only a virtual world.
