"9 platforms where you can meet new people in your city"
“Don’t talk to strangers” is advice we all received as kids. However, talking to strangers in adulthood is pretty much a day-to-day activity. Also, when socialising halted due to the covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, meeting strangers now offers a lot of excitement. As you get to make connections, network and meet like-minded people online.
Creating a group for people with the same interests is fun. Wondering how you can do this online, then look no further because we have compiled 9 best platforms where you can meet new people in your city.
Bylde
1:
Bylde is a website where you can create a group and plan meetups through it. You can also sell your event tickets through Bylde. People looking to join communities
For people looking to find others with same-interests, bylde has a lot of groups you can join based on your interests. I would recommend you to give a try at this website. It won't disappoint you because this is the best online platform amongst all where you can create a group easily, manage it at an affordable cost and grow your community.
2: Meetup
Meetup has a lot of groups based in cities across the globe. If you are looking to connect with people in your city, you can find groups here.
If you are specifically interested in meeting someone who has the same interest as you have then you can find people through meetup. If you are single and trying to find a friend, there are many possibilities that you can find a date, but yes it's not a dating site. Meetup is a safe app and can be used by anyone from anywhere in the world. But Meetup has high costing compared to other meetup apps.
3:Eventbrite
On Eventbrite, you can find local events happening near you. Eventbrite is a ticketing website where you can market your event and sell tickets from the website but it will have a service charge on each ticket. Eventbrite charges a commission of (3.5%+ $1.79) behind every ticket you sell.
However, you can find big events going live and also create events for big audiences here. It is most helpful for users who can find a variety of events that are happening nearby like some organized party, classes, etc. So if you plan to sell tickets to events or get a ticket for live events, Eventbrite is the best platform you can look into.
4: Nextdoor
It is like social media where you can share with your local community. It is made for those people who want to always keep in touch with neighbors.
The registration is simple where you can just register it from your email address. It is very safe to share anything with your neighbours but you have to verify your name and address. It's a new way to connect with your neighbors. It was launched in the United States and is available in 11 countries. The best thing about Next Door is it's free to use.
5:Bumble BFF
Bumble, known for a dating app, can also be used for finding new meaningful friends. You just need to set up your account and a nice bio according to your lifestyle. The matching is done according to your choices where you will be matched to your potential partner.
But it takes a lot of right swipe to get a perfect match. It's a fun and quirky type of app but doesn’t perform many security checks. So, you might not know exactly who is speaking from the other side so be safe while using this app. Bumble is free of cost so try your luck you might find a friend if you are lucky.
6: We3
We3 is not a dating app and using it is safe. We3 will automatically match 3 people at a time where at first you can't see the profile picture. But the gender will be the same of all three who get matched. So if you are bored chatting with one person try this app and you can have a group chat. Check out the reviews before you try this app so you get to know what's exactly different in this app.
7:Smacktive
Smacktive app helps you find people in your local area to do some activities with. For example, you can find Gym buddies, sports players or people for a friendship. This app is quite simple to use where you can chat instantly and you can find people up to 100 miles from you. You can look for people with common interests. It's a free app so download and enjoy. This app is useful for those people who are looking for common interests and not a group meetup.
8:Travel pal
If you are traveling to a new place then by using Travel pal you can find locals to guide you, show you around and also hosts that list their places for travellers to stay.
As a host, you can share your house with travelers and help them. The platform is similar to Airbnb.
By making a good gesture like sharing a meal with locals, you will make a lot of friends. You can use this app while traveling to new places and locations at regular times.
9:Nearify
You can find all sorts of events like singing, dancing festivals or some functions happening near you and all over the world on Nearify. Nearify will give you daily happening events for the location you have set in it. So if you are looking for some weekend parties or events Nearify is the app you should have on your mobile. Choose a big city near you to get more events. And if are a person who likes to hang out with unknown people near you then this app is for you.
That's the list of best apps and websites like Bylde. These platforms will help you search and meet new friends and help in attending events. Creating a community on such platforms will help you to socialize with many people. So enjoy all the platforms. Do share your experience with these social platforms in the comment below.

¿Qué es bookcrossing ?
Bookcrossing es la acción de liberar libros "a lo salvaje" y a partir de ahí, seguirles el rastro. Bookcrossing.com es la web dónde esto se hace posible.
Cuándo empezó ?
La idea Bookcrossing fue concebida en marzo del 2001, y la web fue creada cuatro semanas más tarde, el 17 de abril de 2001. El crecimiento en sus 11 primeros meses fue lento con solo 100 miembros cada mes. Pero esto cambió en marzo del 2002 al salir a luz un artículo en la revista Book Magazine, con lo cual empezó una avalancha de nuevos miembros que aún continua en nuestros días. El resultado fue que casi 300 nuevos miembros se registran cada día en todo el mundo.
Quiénes somos?
Más de 500.000 BookCrossers se han registrado hasta la fecha con casi tres millones de libros fichados (nov. 06). Son personas de todas las edades, de todas las partes del mundo. El registro en la web es gratuito y obtienes el acceso a tu propia estantería de libros. Claro que es imprescindible tenera acceso a internet y cierto amor por la literatura.
Qué hacen los bookcrossers?
BookCrossing es un fenómeno global, con personas de más de 150 países desde la Antártida hasta Zimbabwe. Estados Unidos lidera el ranking con algo más del 44 % de miembros. Le sigue Gran Bretaña con el 10 %, Canadà y Alemania el 7 % y España en quinta posición mundial con el 5 %.

USA221,977 (44%)
UNITED KINGDOM51,317 (10%)
CANADA34,736 (7%)
GERMANY34,129 (7%)
SPAIN25,215 (5%)
AUSTRALIA23,025 (5%)
ITALY16,187 (3%)
FRANCE11,121 (2%)
NETHERLANDS8,246 (2%)
PORTUGAL6,976 (1%)
Los libros no saben de fronteras geográficas y a menudo viajan miles de kilometros saltando de un continente a otro.
Cómo funciona?
Los BookCrossers registran sus libros en la web y cada libro lleva un número único e identificativo llamado BCID (BookCrossing ID number), el cual sirve para ponerlo en la etiqueta que colocaremos en la cubierta de nuestro libro. Alguien que cace el libro seguirá las instrucciones de la etiqueta, dirigiéndose a la web www.bookcrossing.com y ver dónde ha estado el libro, quién lo ha leído y qué han opinado sobr él su anteriores lectores. También el 'cazador' podrá dejar constancia de que ha encontrado el libro y que está a buen recaudo en sus manos.
El Por qué de esta práctica?
BookCrossing combina aventura, altruismo y literatura en un mezca única que los verdaderos bibliófilos encuentran irresistible. Es como enviar mensajes en una botella, o notas en globos de helio. BookCrossing nos transporta a nuestra infancia cuando pensábamos que jugar era los más importante en nuestra vida. Con esta conexión con la literatura, BookCrossing también crea la magnífica posibilidad, para que conjuntamente, padres y profesores incentiven el amor por la lectura a los más pequeños de nuestros hogares
Meetup w/ the Philly Strobist group, and some models. I called in my 2nd Cousin Chad and some of his friend to be extra models for us.
Special thanks to model Michelle, who did such a terrific job. I can't wait to have another shoot with her soon.

Green Change hosted a Clean Energy Meetup in Mill Valley on June 12, 2019.
This community meetup was moderated by Fabrice Florin and featured these guest speakers:
• Ryan Maecker from Marin Clean Energy (MCE) on their Deep Green 100% Renewable Electricity
• Alexandra Ramey from Rising Sun Center for Opportunity on their Green House Call Service
We presented three climate actions that people can take to use clean energy in their own homes:
• Use Renewable Electricity
• Get a Home Energy Checkup
• Install Solar Panels
After the talks, we discussed our personal experiences about using clean energy in our homes and connected experts with people who are just getting started. Solar energy developer David Kunhardt shared helpful tips about installing solar panels and answered questions from participants considering this home improvement. Other participants shared practical information about using renewable energy in their own lives and helping their communities do the same.
This free community event took place at the Sewerage Agency of Southern Marin (SASM) at 450 Sycamore Avenue in Mill Valley, across from the MV Middle School.

Amy's, I think. I was saving up for one but then got really excited about another character and decided to get her first, but seeing him is weakening my resolve!
