Scott is the CEO and co-founder, and Douglas is the Chief Community Officer. They were in Washington D.C. this month to meet with some of the meetup organizers, and after the meeting we did a quick interview.

In the interview, Scott & Douglas talked about how & why Meetup started, and some of the background & intentions of their new Meetup Alliance.

Meetup logo Meetup was started in 2002, and now has about 5 million members, organized into groups that are linked to thousands of topics.

(alternate version – we had a little lot of trouble getting the editing finished in time, and will update later with the version that was intended)

While watching the video (or later) you can preview the book online here (opens in new window).  If you’re in Boston in June (2008), you can try and catch Gary’s Book Tour Event in Beantown.  Gary announced this week that he’s not going to do a typical book tour, and instead is going to places where there is demand, and fans (Vayniacs) to convince him to go to their towns.

Gary has over 5,000 facebook friends (even with the 5,000 limit!) and over 8,000 people following him on his Twitter page twitter.com/garyvee.

Enjoy the video… here are some additional notes (links open in a new window and should not interrupt the video playback):

In Singapore, there is a government-sponsored event around Valentine’s Day called “Romancing Singapore“, and one event is “Love In A Capsule” that has among it’s organizers a social networking Clique Wise.

There are at least two new facebook applications released this month (Feb 2008) that are strictly Valentine’s-related, and likely more that slipped past our searching. There also is a travel social networking site launching on Valentine’s Day.


Valentine’s Day Show – Social Valentine’s Day from Social Web Show on Vimeo.

Word is one gentleman with no Valentine’s Date set up a pimped-up Facebook profile with 1500 applications, of which 600 are for daing purposes. He’s totally ready for a social-networking Valentine’s Day. He’s also posted a video which we have on our site, which talks about how to make the most awesome profile page ever. Key is to promise to change your “relationship status” on Facebook for that “special” person… changing your status to “in a relationship”.

And, besides friend-based networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, traffic is up now for Valentine’s Day at dating sites. This is according to the web metrics firm Hitwise, as reported on WebWare.com, which listed the top ranked site as SinglesNet.com. There also was a question as to if Craigslist personals posting also increased?
