Coffee Time?

There's always something new to discover on the web. By chance today I happened upon the site Meetup.com, which lets people set up groups where those who share a common interest can meet up locally. It's rather different from the common online forums where people usually only "meet" in cyberspace. They claim to have 1.8 million people signed up worldwide and over 1100 in Dubai.

I thought to set up a group for those interested in the Dubai Marina--property buyers, residents, developers, boating or skyscraper fans, etc. As it turned out there's a monthly fee for setting up any group. With so many free services on the web I couldn't see why they required a fee. Other than the chance to publicize the group, I also couldn't see what service they would be providing. The idea, nonetheless, is great. So, I thought why not inaugurate a Dubai Marina Coffee Time club here.

This idea is hot off the presses, so details are yet to be worked out. I welcome suggestions for a venue and time. One of the shops listed in Dubai Marina Info's Shopping & Dining would probably suffice. I'm open to suggestions. In any event, stay tuned for further details.
