Want to meet other Shih Tzus owners? Find a fellow skier, cyclist, kayaker or climber? Get a pick-up basketball game wherever you are? Start a team?
Organize a speaker series, and charge attendees? Get a free web site and/or social network site where your new group can gather online? Or provide the event calender others use to find meetings?
Jump on a growing trend. Use extremely user-friendly online services (many are free) to enable people with passionate, shared interests or needs to actually meet in person. Quickly, in some cases. Facilitating face-to-face meetings is one social media trend that continues to grow in popularity while others are beginning to wilt.
Want to be the popular Connector to arrange gatherings with people who share your interest? Find a free meeting place, announce your meetings and invite others to come - even charge for attendance, as Edith Yeung does, keeping her overhead next to nil, using PayPal. You can do it all at MeetUp. Next step? Soon you can start an alliance of local groups. See more ideas at http://www.movingfrommetowe.com/2007/12/12/organize-a-meeting-share-interests-make-money/

Great ideas and suggestions. I like your concepts – the power of “we” vs. “me.” While I'm always on the lookout for ways to help others, too often I'm trying to make my own projects “independent enterprises.” I need to be on the lookout in 2008 for more opportunities to achieve my goals and continue to help others through collaboration.
Best success to you in 2008!
