Making New Connections for Fun or Fulfillment
How do you make new friends in the internet age? Someone who shares your spiritual values, likes to do the same things, or offers you the opportunity to expand your business connections. Find people online, then meetup in person.
Meeting new friend gets tougher as you move through life. When you’re in school it’s easy to make new friends. When you’re older, you make friends with the parents of your kids’ friends, even if you have nothing else in common other than your children.
But if you’re yearning for new connections in your life there’s an easy way to find people looking for the same thing as you. The online community Meetup connects you with groups based on your interests.
Meetup has nearly 100,000 local groups around the world, with more starting each day. The site has millions of monthly visitors. It’s
not a dating site but a place to meet new friends.

age-specific groups.
Need new business contacts? Expand your network by joining a Meetup in your specialty. As you can imagine, there are dozens of tech groups nearby. There’s also a thriving group for start-ups with hundreds of active
participants. Instant networking!
