Meetups
Meetups are another form of electronic infrastructure used somewhat
by windsurfing communities in the Mid-Atlantic. Meetup is found at
meetup.com, is centrally located in NYC, and is
defined as a social
networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings. Members
of a meetup group can post their profile for others to view, and
meetings at certain times and places occur where people show up
and meet each other.
