What the Media Says

  • "Like eBay, Meetup is turning out to be a bigger idea than it may have appeared at first."

    - The New York Times

  • "Meetup is not like other social networking sites. Friendster, MySpace.com, Tribenet, and Tickle, and those oriented towards business, like Ryze and LinkedIn, introduce people to each other in cyberspace. They don't create social groups where people can meet each other face-to-face. So far, Meetup doesn't have any real competitors. It's the kind of business, like eBay, which be- comes harder by the day for competitors to dislodge. Meetup is rapidly reaching critical mass. And with supporters like multi-billionaire Omidyar, I predict it's here for the long haul."

    - David Kirkpatrick, Fortune

  • "The Internet isn't just about e-mail or the Web anymore. Increasingly, people online are taking the power of the Internet back into their own hands... It's the emergence of the Power of Us. Thanks to new technologies...people are getting together to take collective action on an un- precedented scale... encourag[ing] people to get together in the real world, not just online. Meetup, for instance, has many thousands of groups that get together regularly, from English bull- dog owners in New York City to scrapbookers in Singapore."

    - BusinessWeek Magazine

  • "The website Meetup.com might also be called 'when centuries collide,' for it marries the human impulse to gather in convivial groups -- which is as old as the quilting bee, the hoedown, and the Grange -- to the eye-blink speed and efficiency of technology."

    - The Boston Globe

  • "Are you ready for the new Web? It's getting ready for you. It turns out that bidding on eBay, gathering with Meetup and Googling on, um, Google are only the opening scenes in a play whose running time will top 'Mahabharata.'"
