GroupsFinder Launched

The idea for GroupsFinder came about as we got more and more involved in Philly tech groups.

It seemed that every month or so we would learn about a new group or two. At first we took this as a sign of a thriving community (and it is indeed a thriving community). But we quickly realized that these weren't always new groups - they were often just new to us.

Groups have many options for forming and hosting an online presence:

• Independent, custom-built sites
• Mothership sites - local groups for a specific product or organization
• Group hosting sites - Meetup.com, Google Groups, etc

But that diversity makes it more difficult to find the groups (and for them to get found).

As we thought more about this, we became frustrated that there wasn't a single place where we could find all of the groups near us (or anywhere we were planning to be).

GroupsFinder is that place.
