We've been very busy since our beta launch this summer and now want to update you on several new and important features that we have added to MeetingWave. 

MeetingWave is a free networking tool that helps you connect offline with people you would like to meet in the places you will be. You can arrange social or business networking meetings with new people. Or, you can use MeetingWave to arrange get-togethers just with your friends. Either way, through features offered by our service, you decide who attends your meetings. 

Here are the improvements we have added--please try them and let us know what you think: 

Private Invites - MeetingWave now offers you the option of inviting only specific guests to meetings you organize. We will not post these meetings on the website -- no one but your invited guests would know about the meeting.  We will send your Invite directly to each of your guests, at the email addresses you provide. 

Messaging System - You now have the ability to communicate directly and privately with people who accept your Invite. And, your guests also have a way of communicating directly with you. Email communications are private between the two individuals communicating, AND no email addresses are ever disclosed (unless you decide to disclose your own email address). With the messaging system, you can follow up easily with your guests on any meeting details. 

Private Meeting Location - You now have the option to post an Invite on MeetingWave without disclosing the specific location of your proposed meeting. The meeting location may be disclosed later only to guests who you, as the meeting organizer, approve to attend your meeting. This feature gives you more control in organizing the meeting, while still allowing you to post an Open Invite on the service to meet new people. 

RSS Feeds - You can now sign up for a feed that will be updated whenever there is an Invite posted that matches your search criteria. You will not have to browse the website -- if you don't want to -- for meetings that interest you.

Meeting Reminders - MeetingWave now allows you to set up email reminders for upcoming meetings. 

Why should you use MeetingWave instead of other networking sites?  We believe the versatility of MeetingWave is its biggest asset. You can set up meetings with people you already know.  You can set up meetings with new people. Or, you can set up meetings with some combination of both new people and friends.  You can post your meetings for all to see; or you can keep your meetings completely private among you and your invited guests.  You can arrange meetings anywhere. You can communicate directly with people who have indicated an interest in attending your meetings. MeetingWave gives you a high degree of control in organizing meetings, even when you are looking to meet new people!
