Get Unplugged!
Hi everyone,
Here at Meetup HQ we always want to help people get offline and attending more Meetups.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone realized that when you meet real people face-to-face, amazing things can happen?
We think so. So we made a video and a fun site to help out.
With so many people these days plugged into their cell phones, email, and online social networks, it seems like only an intervention will help get them offline! We all probably know someone like this.
Check out unplugyourfriends.com and send an intervention to anyone you know who may need an "unplugging" of their own!
From everybody at Meetup HQ
Why crack down? They were a group!
Ted Koppel: "After the [China] earthquake... auto clubs got together... loaded up on food, medicine, clothing... government cracked down, why would they crack down? it's a wonderful thing, people sharing their bounty. THEY WERE A GROUP! The movement was expanding. It looked like it could become the basis for what? We're talking about a few dozen people, maybe a few hundred people"
Charlie Rose: "They fear people getting together in some kind of organization or quasi-organization that may have capacity to grow?"
Ted: "Absolutely"
