Social Media is a tough nut to crack but meetup.com is a crock of crap. Something to replace that and make new friends would be interesting.

Meetup is a testament to the extent one can polish a turd. They've put so much effort into aesthetics and yet their app/site is so slow and fails in random ways.

Meetup essentially had a monopoly, you could go to a new city or foreign country and immediately connect with likeminded people. I guess it wasn't profitable enough to pay off their VC so they kept changing it and adding dumb "features" and raising the price... and now it's basically useless.

It's owned by Bending Spoons now. Unclear if there's anyone working on it anymore beyond keeping it running.

I would use a better version of meetup. I use the current version....

On the same tack, maybe a simplified LinkedIn. Keep track of good work connections without being tied to work emails. LinkedIn is unusable...
