Amazon: "'See a Kindle in Your City' to help prospective owners connect with Kindle owners to get a chance to see the device in person."
GREAT idea, weak execution (in the threads, people are not actually self-organizing meetups much. they need a [embeddable] more directed meetup-like tool for alerts, to spark step-ups, to push for meetups, etc.)
imagine all kinds of marketers enabling people to self-organize locally, so people can see/discuss/kick-tires: cars, gadgets, sports goods, baby goods, industrial goods... what else?
