MingleNow.com - Connecting Your On and Offline Life

MingleNow is a really cool idea that combines what you do and who you know on and offline. They list various places that you can add to your profile, which means that you hang out there. Other people who go to the same places also join the group. As a result, the next time you´re there, you might run into one of the people from the site and make new friends. Cafes and bars tend to be the majority of the listings. Search by tags or the type of place. You can also check out events going down in your city, so that you know where the happening place to be is on Saturday night and can see some of the people also planning on being there.

“MingleNow connects your offline life with your online life by allowing you to connect to the places you go and the people who go there. The places you like to go define you. MingleNow enables you to meet other people who are attracted to the same places. You can also use MingleNow to discover places in other cities and areas that attract the type of people and have the type of vibe you"re looking for. Most importantly, MingleNow has a built in calendar to organize your weekend without having to wade through calls, emails and IMs.”

This social networking site accomplishes more by making it extremely easy for people to actually meet each other in real life. It also makes the places you love to go to be the places where “everybody knows your name”. There are many possibilities in terms of how they can get advertising support, and advertisers know they´ll be reaching their key audience at a local level.

How will they market themselves to get the word out so that more people are participating on the site?
