By: Mark Spangler The web provides a new outlet for growing Internet professionals to interact in the Philly area. Philadelphia, PA – August 07, 2007 -- Philadelphia, a place not usually associated with a flurry of Internet start-ups and web based operations, has witnessed a recent surge in activity in the past year with the advent of social networking and the growing Philadelphia tech industry. From Conshohocken based Half.com (now owned by eBay) to Philadelphia Media Holdings, the Philadelphia region has proven itself to be a great breeding ground for Internet companies and related media to grow and successfully find venture capital. Meetup.com, a New York based company, provides an outlet for like-minded professionals and enthusiasts to organize meeting locations and interact. The most recent being “The Philadelphia Internet Professionals Meetup Group,” welcomes all levels of Internet professionals from Web 2.0 startups to Search Engine Marketing firms to come out of the woodwork, converse and strategize with their peers. In a world where these types of professions spend the majority of their days behind a computer screen, Meetup.com is showing that Philadelphia Internet Professionals are not alone as new members continue to join this latest meetup group! Next meeting is scheduled for August 16th, 2007 in Manayunk, PA at the Manayunk Brewing Company and registration is free at http://internetpro.meetup.com/ For information: Contact: mark@pitbull- Phone: 484-994-5690 ### Website: internetpro.meetup.com/ End
