We've had that much longer than they have been around.

The advantage of ours is you don't have to talk about JavaScript ;-).

Meetup certainly has a lot of visibility and shows up in search engine
results. The problem is the tamagutchi requirements where if you don't
post something every couple of days it wants to lock your account and
claim that you're dead.

It was really, really annoying to me, so I stopped using it. This was for
a German group and lots of people found us via meetup, so I know it was
working. I just didn't have time to keep hitting the feedme button.

If someone else wants to, though, that would be awesome. If you actually
participate in meetup, then it's probably much easier. The same with the
other social media groups.

We should also be able to automate publishing meeting events and some
other updates to most social media sites.
