And I agree, most of the meetups/tweetups I hear about I've found out about initially through Twitter/word-of-mouth, but if people don't have the right connections, sometimes it can be hard to find out. If someone is interested in taking the initiative and seeking out groups, meetups, etc. sites like meetup.com do a great job of allowing them to find those. I'd love to talk more about plan.fm (congrats by the way, I know you guys are just getting set up, but it's looking good so far). If you like, shoot me an e-mail at alex.priest[at]mac.com Thanks!

Meetup.com and other services do a great job at connecting people with common interests in real life, but I find I'm learning about more events through people on twitter as I hear them talk about their upcoming plans and will typically meet someone for the first time from online discussions at one of these events. Bridging the on-line and offline connections is really important and interesting! I'm the founder of Plan.fm and would like to pick your brain a bit about some thoughts you touched on related to connecting with people IRL. I'd also like to hear more on your feedback about our specific service to help improve it from it's current state. Again, happy belated birthday! (: Happy belated birthday!
