MeetingWave helps someone land a new job in the booming cardboard box hat industry. Click here.

Okay, it was our first time using xtranormal.com, but a lot of fun. We recommend trying it (and creating invites on MeetingWave if looking to make new real-world contacts).

MeetingWave – Real Networking. Easy.

The video describes how MeetingWave works, it’s value to users and our simple goals which are to help members more easily meet the type of people they’d like to network with.

Simply create invites describing the type of people you want to meet over coffee, lunch or other networking meeting.  You’ll be notified by email when someone accepts.  You can ignore, decline or confirm any acceptance for any reason.

Meetings are only confirmed if everyone agrees to meet and your name and contact info are private until you are ready to exchange business cards.

Let us know what you think.

MeetingWave launches a location-based iphone app:

MeetingWave’s iPhone app allows you can set up business or social networking meetings on the fly with new people!  We don’t disclose your identity, contact information or specific location. Users can check “Who’s Nearby?” and send a “meeting request” to anyone they like to meet.

And, the app includes the verification feature.  Members can have their work or alumni email addresses “verified” by MeetingWave and display an indication of that verification (e.g., @ibm.com or @mit.edu) on their profile. When someone sees verified email domains on a profile, they will know the user must be associated with the university or company identified in the email domain helping people feel more comfortable meeting the user (and vice versa).  Only the verified domain is displayed – the user’s personal email address will not be disclosed for everyone to see.

Our android app should be launched within the next few weeks and MeetingWave will continue to make improvements.

MeetingWave has also launched private label versions to license to colleges/universities (alumni networking), conferences/trade shows (attendee networking), hotels/resorts (guest networking) and associations (member networking):

Many alumni, for example, like to meet other alumni for jobs or clients leads.
