>Meetup.com looks up the venues closest to you, and lets you vote on the 
>venue (café, restaurant, bar) you'd like to go to for your Meetup.  Meetup 
>will send an email out following the venue vote to let participants know 
>which venue is selected.  The site then provides a tentative agenda for

>Meetup.com allows you to send in feedback about the meeting - as well as 
>other pictures and stories to go along with your Meetup experience.
>
>The debate over media ownership continues to grow since the beginning of 
>our involvement in the fight against consolidation.  An enormous part of 
>that momentum is the incredible grassroots movement that continues to 
>question giving more power to media conglomerates - power that can be used 
>to monopolize the voice and content of what you see, hear, and read.
