Meetup not quite mobile

This morning I attended the quite useful 'Open Coffee' - a great little weekly networking event for digital entrepreneurs organised by Saul Klein.

Saul uses a couple of platforms to manage the logistics of the event. There is an over-arching network hosted on Ning and London event details are plugged into Meetup.com

Meetup sends an email to registered attendees to ask them to rate the event. Yesterday this email arrived while I was still at the event, on my Blackberry Pearl 8100. Save to say the link did not redirect to a mobile friendly page.

Seems to me, that the best way to rate an event, for those who have the devices (and a lot of Meetup's audience do), is on the move. Immediately while fresh in the mind. It's probably on a product road-map somewhere, but at least in my mind I came away with the thought that the user experience had not quite been thought through in detail.
