MeetingWave is an interesting new twist on the MeetUp concept. As opposed to organizing group events, the idea is to specify who you’d like to meet, post an invite, and accept or reject requests to attend. For example, let’s say you’ve got an idea for a Web application and want to meet someone that can develop it. You can post an invite for coffee to MeetingWave, and then developer’s can take you up on the offer by indicating they wish to attend.

As a meeting organizer, you approve the people who indicate they want to attending your meeting, giving you control over who shows up, and eliminating the awkwardness and waste of time that could ensue with public meet ups. Poking around the site, most of the listings so far seem to focus on business networking of some sort, ranging from simple meetups of people with similar interests to professionals looking for jobs hoping to lure recruiters.

I like the idea of MeetingWave – it eliminates a lot of the complexities and back-and-forth that can ensue when posting an open-ended networking invite on Craigslist or Meetup. Of course, there aren’t nearly as many events listed, with a few dozen meetings scheduled over the coming days in most metro areas. Additionally, the site would benefit from better integration of data and links to other social networking profiles so you can get a better idea of who someone is before accepting an invite.

Ultimately, MeetingWave might not fill a big enough need in the crowded online events space to be viable in the long-run, and the big event sites could make a few tweaks to support similar functionality. But if you’re looking for a job, it might be worth an investment of a few minutes by posting a recurring meeting and scouring the opportunities on the site.

It's been a big news day for Dell, with big announcements: the new Wasabi zink printer, a new Dell Mini, with a 10 screen, GPS, TV tuner and edge-to-edge keyboard and screen, and the new luxury line: Adamo. I persuaded Dell to let me snap a few pics of the Adamo (working, of course) and I have one thing to say: Macbooks, watch out.
