"The Southcentral Alaska Raw Food Potluck, organized through the social networking site Meetup.com, mingles regularly with members of AlaskaVeg, the vegetarian/vegan Meetup group, at gatherings in living rooms and kitchens around Anchorage. AlaskaVeg has 92 members. Raw Food Potluck, 42."

"It's as simple as joining one of the more than 500 'meetup groups' in the valley that offer physical activity along with the chance to meet and schmooze."

There's a club for everyone.

"When Groucho Marx said, "I don't want to belong to any group that would have me as a member," he wasn't talking about most of us.
Truth is, we long for the community and camaraderie that come with belonging to an organization, whether it be the Crips or the local naturists.
While conventional wisdom might be pining the loss of community and the local Kiwanis to the selfish solitude of the Internet, the opposite is true: Sites such as MeetUp.com on the Internet have allowed more like-minded people to get together, organize and then meet in person."

Mothers connect: They stroll together

"There are a lot of moms' groups out there, but I felt there was a need for a younger group of moms in their 20s," said Carrie Blincoe of Citrus Heights, the group's founder."
Yes, I would like to read more about different Meetup groups.
It appears that the sky is the limit to the way a Meetup group can be organized.
I am new to Meetup, and I can see lots of ways to be involved and use the service.
Thank you - while I may be brand new, Meetup is not and it shows!
