Hi Nir,

thanks for the feedback, though you do need to understand that you violated a few rules here:
  • In a social network like meetup, you do need to use your real name - after all, it's about setting up real live meetings, so using an alias does not help in establishing trust
  • If you set up a meeting and don't follow through, you need to inform people and cancel it. While it is appreciated that you now finally responded, you should have canceled it much earlier
  • Not sure what you mean by "not working" - you've got 7 confirmed and 5 "Maybe" people, which is not to bad a turnout.
  • One reason why it it might not have worked is that you simply did not follow up at all - I asked a question re: the soccer meeting which you never answered. If the organizer doesn't involve him/herself, it simply doesn't happen....
Keep in mind to cancel the other meetings you set up if you're not following through with it.

Guys,
 
My name is Nir, and I set up the Geneva Meetup, under the user name 'John'. I am also one of the founders of glocals.com, and I wanted to Meetup to complement my glocals.com activities. But the Meetup is not really working, and I will not put more time in it. Sorry.
 
If someone wants to take it over, pls let me know.
 
Thanks,
 
Nir

Hi Barbara,

not sure that we're going to hear anything from "John" - he set up a another meeting a week ago and never communicated a location (which, to be fair, might be to the fact that only two people signed up). I would not be able to make it today anyway, but one of the  confirmed participants could come up with a meeting place; otherwise, I am willing to organize something at a later point in time.
