On 2001 Meetup.com was founded by Scott Heiferman, Peter Kamili and Matt Meeker.

In the year 2002 to 2004 Meetup.com was recognized as one of the fastest growing community network online or social networking site in the world. It is also used by American politicians since 2003 for their campaign and political plans.

“Three founders of the Meetup company knew that people, all most of the time of their life were staying in front of the computers, TVs, DVDs and other electronics entertainment devices, and losing friends or personal connections with the community.” The Vice president of the company Explained, “that after 9/11 tragedy they started thinking how they could help in a positive way for having people reconnect to their own communities not in the chatrooms across the globe”.

On 22 July 2005 the company reported that 1,643,497, members 5,486 topics, and 58,878 local groups and on 11 November 2006 Meetup.com reported 18,368 groups and 3,540 topics.

The domain name MeetUp.com was first registered and conceived by Vancouverite Edward Periera along with Prem Samtani and David Lee as partners in early 1998. They developed 1^st online hotel block management application to be used in Canada in the year 1999 and Mexico in 2000. The domain name MeetUp was penned from the phrase “Let’s meet up at the hotel” and turn it out slang word which means “gathering”, and then emerged to “meetup”.

The office atmosphere was sizzling with camaraderie, fun and bragging plus laughter. We are a bunch of internet addict who has littered the internet with so much ideas and information, so there is a friendly competition on who among us has the most number of social networks which the search engine has acknowledge. We had joined every social network searched on the internet web.

We were talking on what social networks with our account will be on the top 10 or top 20. As usual, I am the quietest among the pack, yes I am quite ‘slow’ with pimping my profiles. I had registered with Myspace for almost a year now and my profile in myspace did not even turn up among the top 20 search.

It is only but human to make ways and indeed I made mine. I registered in naymz.com. The funny, since I am no web savvy; the first time I typed naymz.com in the address bar, I was confused to be confronted by a blank web page with these details: Nayzm logo; a small box with the words Remember me beside it; the words ‘Forgot your password?’; two boxes for the email and password; the word ‘People’ with a downward arrow; and a search box.

So, I tried searching for a colleagues name and still found a blank web page. I just let the days passed and visited the naymz.com page daily and it didn’t take long before it hit me that there is the presence of a scroll bar. LOL, yeah and I found the JOIN FOR FREE box.

In less than 24 hours, my profile turned up and it is on top 3 when I googled my name. It has been two weeks since I registered and I happen not to logged in on naymz.com and still my naymz.com profile still turned up when I google searched my name. Naymz.com in my opinion is the answer to your personal branding needs. If you wanted to turn up on google search then this social network is the answer. They call this feature COMPREHENSIVE SEARCH ENGINE PLACEMENT.

Naymz.com another feature is the DETAILED VISITOR TRACKING; I call this feature as STALK YOUR STALKER feature. This naymz.com feature will allow you to see the details of your profile visitor. Details like date, city, state, country, IP address, visitor name if available, and the very page that referred the visitor of which you will be informed through an email sent to you. So, if you feel that somebody is following you in the cyber world, also stalk your stalker without his knowledge. Lure him to follow you and get the very details that he does not want you to know. Good luck then.
