1. Opportunity to get connected with local people and have offline conversations
Websites or social media platforms provide a great opportunity to find friends online. Whether
you are a new employee in a new company or new to a city, you need friends and people who
share similar interests an passions just like yours. Thus, networking websites provide a great
platform for you to log on and see if there are any people in the virtual world you share your
interests so that you can have a great conversation with them.
But many a times, virtual realties are not sufficient and people need to really meet each other,
spend time doing things they like and get to know one another to strike ever lasting friendships.
In such cases, you want people who are present in your geographical location to share interests
and passions with you. For e.g. - if you love to listen to live Jazz and sip on wine, will it not be
wonderful if you can meet new people who love to listen to Jazz just like you. May be form a
group online and decide to meet offline in your city?
MixiNity, a great networking website was created and launched keeping this fact in mind.
Register yourselves at MixiNity, www.mixinity.com, and look for people who share similar
interests and hobbies just like you - in your neighborhood! Form a group, organize events and
functions and meet all members offline! What better way to meet new people and mingle with
interesting people than this?
Here are some great ways in which you can get connected to people offline -
 Organize some party - If you are interested in reading books and have joined a club
online, how about organizing a party based on wine and books? Invite all the members
to a great venue, tell them to get books they love to read and wine they love to sip!
 Joining a band or a club of your interest is another great way to meet people locally and
mingle with people who share your interests! If you love music and have always dreamt
of joining a band, search for a local band or group of people who love music on MixiNity
and see where that leads you!
 If you are staying in a nice colony or apartments, usually they have lot of events and
functions going on during festivals or some weekends. Make sure you go to a few of
them - you never know what the guy in the next building loves to do. Be open minded
and talk to as many people as possible.
 It may sound a little absurd but visiting a local store or a farmer`s market will make you
meet many local people. Locals usually want to buy stuff from local markets and they
have time on their hand when they visit such a place. You will learn a lot about your
neighborhood and will be locally aware.
Lastly, be open and be sure to mingle and speak to as many people as possible!
