Anita Rowland organizes the Seattle Meetup group. Recently meetup decided to start charging the organizers for their service and then then someone from their company made a put-down about how Seattle Webloggers were “belly-aching” about it. You can read about the controversy on Anita’s site here. I’ve always wanted to go to a Seattle meetup, and now with all the controversy, I can’t wait to go to the next one!
