at the meeting yesterday I brought up meetup.com as a way to reach more
members, and someone mentioned they have a fee for setting up a group.
it turns out that this is true:

For those of us who weren't at the meeting, can you explain why we'd
want to do this and what advantage it would have over, say, Google
Calendar?

Google Calendar is not the only app Google offers. There are a number
of interrelated applications that could be used by the group for
disseminating information and organizing activities. Meetup is a good
way to be exposed to some people, but in my estimation, Google Groups
is just about as active.

Just my two cents.

Okay, but still -- what does Meetup do?

All it does is puts you on a list of meetings that people can search
by area and interest. Once you have a meetup group established it will
mail out reminders to all who have joined for meetings. A mailing list
suffices just as well, like Google Groups, which is where I found this
group. I didn't even think of looking in Meetup.

Might I suggest plancast.com? That looks like the Next Big Thing in
social event planning. Or maybe not. I just know it's getting a lot of
buzz right now and isn't as painful to deal with as Evite.
