Meetup.com should be cooler

Meetup have just announced a new pricing regime, which is bound to cause all sorts of pain and misery.
But that is not what this post is about…I have no skin in that game and at the end of the day they are making a calculated decision which they know will force out the more casual users…oh well. (will some of this crowd find its way to upcoming.org?
UPDATE: Apparently some groups are moving to across from Meetup to Upcoming.
This news did however serve to make me ponder Meetup again, which seems to have been very quiet for a while now. They got so much PR during the election and since then they havn’t really been on the radar…and they should be.
With all the talk about Web2.0 Meetup should totally be in the discussion, but they seem to have missed something. They are all about making connections, but as an application they are an island. Where are the connections, the API’s?
Shouldn’t Meetup.com be a platform?
