Title: Stockholm Tweetup
Location: Monks Cafe (Walling. 38)
Link out: Click here
Description: A chance for Stockholm Tweeple to get together over a beer or three. Or a coffee, or tea, or Coke, or whatever.

The venue is a brew-pub that makes its own beer, and has a MASSIVE range of bottled beers. Monks is situated a few minutes walk away from Central station, just past Norra Bantorget. We have booked the Brewery Room (the first room you see as you come through the door) so there should be space for everyone. Under 18s are welcome at the pub so nobody has an excuse to not come!

The start time is 1630, but we will be there most of the night so drop in any time you can, even if it is just to say hello.

This weekend I also added some minor improvements to the site. Nothing big but some nice additions never the less and something to whet your appetite for the next big additions. We are looking into content management, meetup polls, improvement to the meetup post design, better internationalization and more. But until then there are some small fixes I deployed today for you:

RSS feeds for both meetups and comments:

Easier to find the “Add a meetup” option, it is now in your sidebar instead of the option page:

In addition to those i have also made a number of minor tweaks to improve readability on the site (added horizontal rulers, tweaked margins, font sizes and more).

I also want to end this post by thanking @Mike1mb for the mention of our site and wish him the best of luck with his next meetup.

It was arranged by @Mike1MB (you can find his blog here). Here, here and here are a few pictures taken at the event.

We hope that this, as it has been the case for us at TweetMeetup Stockholm, is just the first of many meetups to come and that it can act as inspiration to others out there to plan a meetup. It is easy and there are no set rules on how it should be done. The most important thing is to have fun and to meet people, and we have had a tremendous amount of positive response from all the meetups thus far. And the trend is that they are growing, both in size and in numbers. Meeting online is a good way to initiate a contact, meeting offline is an even better one to strengthen it.

The growing number of meetups and the added international spread has highlighted some areas of the site in need of improvement for better handling of international meetups and also increased the need for a way to document the meetups after the fact. Rest assured that both of these areas are being worked on and are expected to have been resolved within the coming week or so.

Until then I wish you all good luck on your next meetups!

The site is still very fresh and there is certainly more to come (and soon!) so keep checking back. We are especially looking into ways to help ease spreading the word of your meetups, keeping users who signed up for attendance in the loop for updates and to help you archive and display videos and pictures from your meetups for others to see. We are also looking forward to your own ideas if you have any. If so, please contact us at: ideas@tweetmeetup.com.

Also while I’m at it I might as well dispel some misconceptions we’ve encountered about what Tweetmeetup is and isn’t: Please read our FAQ.

If you have any questions regarding the site or TweetMeetup in general please follow me @Burre83 (or any of the other organizers: @Raiha, @Sharj, @frebro) or email us questions at questions@tweetmeetup.com

See you all at next meetup!
