People are relational beings. We love to meet others and connect to each other as friends. This probably is one of the reasons why online networking has taken off over the past couple of years. We love to connect to people whom we think are interesting to us and online networking enables us to find people we could never have found otherwise. In this way we confirm our current friendships online and gain new contacts in the process.

The best way to get to know others is to meet with them. To just get together and have a drink or a meal together. Just to talk about mutual interests, work or your private life. Just sitting down and talking to people always nets the best results. The hard part is when and where to meet your online contacts.

Meetial gives you the opportunity to meet interesting people from your network at a time and place convenient to you. By linking your social networks to your schedule, you meet with others when and where you want.

Meetial is simple. Meetial imports your friends from your social networks and sees who are already registered. Then Meetial can import your calendar to show where you are and at what time. Your settings determine how open you are to meeting others. This can mean you are available at all times. But it can also mean you only want to meet at specified times and places. In between business meetings, at your office, or even during your flight to Shanghai.

If you want to, Meetial can help you meet new people as well. Based on your personal profile and interests, Meetial can match you with others with the same interests. This way you can get to know them on a personal level and have an enjoyable time together. While making all these connections, none of your personal information is shared with unauthorised people.

Meetial offers a great opportunity to other entrepreneurs as well. As the meeting location will often be a public place, this offers a great opportunity to promote your business. Especially when the service will be connected to realtime GPS information to match the people meeting. When a meeting is scheduled at such short notice, there is seldom time or inspiration to do research on a location. A suggested location will then be the natural choice. Especially if combined with a special Meetial coffee or lunch deal for instance.

Meeting with others in your network enables you to make the most of your connection. And that always gives positive results.
