Description:	MeetingWave.com helps members meet new people for business or social purposes, while providing control, privacy and flexibility. Members can propose meetings in person (e.g., coffee, lunch, golf...) or virtually (e.g., Skype, teleconference,...), and control who attends and whether the meeting occurs. What’s MeetingWave’s value to you? Think of MeetingWave as creating immediate opportunities for you to be contacted by a potential employer or client to have lunch – without you ever having to disclose your contact information or identity. You can ignore or decline, without ever revealing who you are. MeetingWave is all about bringing immediate opportunities to you to meet new people, while giving you control, privacy and flexibility in deciding who you ultimately meet. Small business owners, entrepreneurs, freelancers, consultants, attorneys, real estate professionals, recruiters, job seekers, financial planners, and others are posting invites to meet new clients or customers, find team members or jobs, make new business contacts or form support groups. MeetingWave Features: * Control when and where you meet and whether the meeting occurs. * Control who you meet and when to disclose your identity. Meetings are only confirmed if the member who posted the invite approves at least one acceptance from another member. Otherwise, there's no obligation to have the meeting. That is, when you post an invite, you are never committing to a meeting until someone accepts and you approve. Members can communicate with other members using double-blind messaging to confirm and facilitate meetings without disclosing their identity or contact information. Members can post single date invites or recurring invites (e.g., daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly).

I think everyone can find an interest that they would like to meet others and talk about. Add Comment	digidigo 06/12/2008	100% 1 vote 1 0% 0
Useful cousin of flash mobbing complete with purpose, strangers and "coordinated spontaneity." Add Comment	jillian_smith 06/04/2008	100% 2 votes 2 0% 0

There are other services trying to do the same thing 1 comment Add Comment	tara 04/25/2008		50% 4 votes 2 50% 2
Who? We allow users to post public invites describing who they want to network with, we notify them of any acceptances which they can approve or decline for any reason and thus control who they will meet and whether the meeting occurs. We are not aware of anyone else providing this free service that allows users to expand their network of contacts through face to face meetings. There are similar sites, but we believe we provide a unique service that is patent protected.	travtab	08/01/2008
who's the target user? b/c right now the posts seem a little random/creepy 1 comment Add Comment	teecee 05/05/2008		40% 5 votes 2 60% 3
We've recently added the ability for users and the MW team to flag invites that are not appropriate. It's a free service so there will always be unattractive invites but we are putting some controls in place to reduce the problem.	travtab	08/01/2008
Meetup and others are much more popular 1 comment Add Comment	sdavinci 07/29/2008		50% 2 votes 1 50% 1
MW is just starting, free, laser focused on allowing users to meet who they want to meet for business or social purposes and is patent protected. Meetup is an event site for organizing groups. Who else are you referring to?	travtab	08/01/2008
Doesn't look like people are RSVPing for many meetings 1 comment Add Comment	green33 07/02/2008		100% 3 votes 3 0% 0
We are just restarting our promotional efforts under the new name. We'll also soon add features to guide users to create better invites and improved profiles. We also need to put in place some quality control measures for both invites and acceptances. In the end, it's up to users to post interesting invites and other users (with interesting profiles) to accept those invites. We have work ahead of us but believe the site will become a useful tool for offline business or social networking.	travtab	07/02/2008
