I’ve known about meetup for the longest time, but as social networking sites go I’ve never really spent a lot of time looking that way. Tonight for some reason I decided to do a little google searching for local groups that may, perhaps, meet up and discuss topics that apply to webdev stuff; lo and behold, the first link sent me to meetup.com. Granted my original search term didn’t come up with any hits (I guess hoping for web standards was a little too specific?) but the “CT Web Designers and Developers” works for me!
Currently there are no scheduled meetups happening in the near future, but at least I signed myself up so I’ll be kept in the loop in case anything ever does come about. It would be really interesting to sit down with people that are within the industry, that aren’t my coworkers, who aren’t my friends, and jam out on some topics related to what we do. It never hurts to hurt new people and exchange ideas, you know?
