It’s almost exactly 12 months since Bending Spoons got their hands on the keys to Evernote and yesterday, we found out they’re just about to take over another pretty big app, Meetup.com.
Interesting. I do use Meetup, occasionally, but only as an attendee and not as an organizer. One thing I have observed with some previous groups I'd been a casual member of, is that they will start as a Meetup group (which carries a nominal annual fee for the organizer) and then, once they achieve some level of membership, they will switch to organizing as a Facebook group (which I believe is free) and abandon the Meetup group.

Interesting. Maybe they grow the group on Meetup and then move over to Facebook which I presume is free!
I have several group meetings in Meetup as a member attendee. Last one was held a week ago.
It is a very efficient platform.
They've just announced a $50 million investment in Meetup so possibly good things to come.
