What is MeetUp? Wikipedia describes Meetup as “an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various localities around the world.”
Meetup.com says its goal is a “Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything…We help people use the internet to get off the internet to meetup in person in their local community. Meetups make a difference in people’s lives and can change the world. Meetups help members find and join groups with a common interest.”
Over 700 attendees along with WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg participated in WordPressNYC Meetup group’s WordCamp during a rainy weekend in November 2009.
