I guess I was so sad that I actually even screwed up the title...

We will be making a blog post about this next week, but I wanted to make sure the /r/meetup community has as much time as possible for planning.

This year's Global reddit Meetup Day will be on Arbitrary Day, June 25th. If you are interested in planning a meetup in your area, you can add it to the list here: http://www.reddit.com/help/faqs/meetup

All it does is give you a rough estimate of how far away the closest user is.

It's just a web page, so it should work on Android/iPhone/iPad/Laptop/etc. It makes use of the geolocation feature found in modern web browsers. So when you first run it, you must allow the browser to share your location.

This is what it looks like while running on Android. The distance to the closest user is rounded up to the nearest power of 2, and the heading to one of 8 directions. I think this provides a good amount privacy while still being useful.

I'm thinking that this is something you can bookmark on your mobile device, then check periodically while you are out and about, and you might get lucky!

I thought this would be a good subreddit for this since we are interested in meeting other redditors here. I would appreciate any feedback you may have (good or bad). Thanks.

Please help me

The misses and I (look he has a wife!) would like to invite the forever and temporally alone (couples with nothing else to do as well) over for thanksgiving. We can all get together and stare at reddit on our phones as a group. Turkey too! We live in Gilbert, AZ Anyone interested?

Today someone from a group I'm in tried to connect with me after an event, but when I went to accept the connection Meetup wouldn't let me do it without signing up for their paid subscription service. Then I tried to message him and I can't even do that anymore without paying. This, along with the all the constant pop-ups every time I try to do anything else on the app, is making me think the groups on there may need to start looking elsewhere for a similar app soon, because I can see a future where they make you pay a premium to join groups or attend events, making the whole thing pointless. Any ideas on similar apps we can jump to?

Edit: To add to this there are an increasing number of "groups" and events on the website that are just an advertisement for someone's business.
