The value is not the tech, its that new people who know of meetup.com can discover the group, and people who prefer an app with notifications/calendar integration over a mailing list will use it.
- crankylinuxuser 9y agomeetup.com is part of the "sales pitch" - sure. But this is sheer lock-in. They play the game of a roach-motel. You data checks in, and it doesn't check out. I had initially no problem -IF- I could get the data. And further digging, that's just not true. And in the end, they were doing 1 meeting a month, and 1 email stating that a meeting is happening. And there was a webpage with a paragraph blurp on it. So yes, even though I'm getting downvoted on my decision, I still stick with that it wasn't a good financial deal for $15/month. ANd yes, it seems they're now at $20/month, payable in 6 month increments. Yipes. And yet he downvotes on my "bad decision" still come in.
