Yesterday, Dave Winer says that ‘It’s time to open open Social Networking again‘ - I agree. (Though I will add that I wasn’t aware anything had ‘closed’ 
At about the same time he posted that, while sat here in a hotel in Cambridge MA, I get a tweet from a buddy who says there’s an impromptu Boston Twitter meetup going to happen in town tonight.
So, my mind starts ticking for a second, and bang!! I buy tweetup.com - hehe
I can already see a global network of communities building around it, ON TOP of the Twitter ‘platform’ - think multi-lingual global cityname subdomains. Aggregate feeds of each, connected by the participants of the communities. boston.tweetup.com, london.tweetup.com, melbourne.tweetup.com etc, etc.
I *know* you get the picture. 
All this will need a calendar system of course. 
Or we’ll all be late / early! ha!
I’ve met so many people via Twitter actually, including (and not many people know this) but my new girlfriend. Yes, I’m falling in love with someone I met on Twitter! :)) - on the other side of the planet!!
Let’s turn colliding, fleeting, passing electrons into flesh-pressing real relationships.
This is BIG!!
And, my friends - the planet is SMALL! A LOT smaller than you think.
