Meetup: Social Events & Groups
Summary
Meetup is a social platform that helps users discover and join local and online groups and events based on shared interests. It enables users to connect with new people, expand their network, and participate in various activities. Users can also create and manage their own groups and events.
Rationale
Meetup is a platform for finding and creating groups and events based on shared interests, which aligns with the idea's focus on connecting people for recommendations. It offers geo and topic filtering for events, privacy controls for groups, user profiles, search and discovery, push notifications, and direct messaging. While it facilitates discussions and connections, it doesn't explicitly feature a real-time Q&A feed in the same way as the concept, nor does it have a category-based reputation system for advisors. It also doesn't mention daily community prompts or upvotes/feedback for answers, as its primary function is event organization rather than direct Q&A.
