The better way of doing this would be to allow people to fill out their location in their profile and then the website could just display all the users who posted in the last x amount of time. The emails would be annoying. Could you imagine if you got a monthly email from every site that had information about you? shiver
This is probably a reasonable official solution with an opt-out (possibly the recent email-me-about-nearby-meetups option could double as that), but I don't know how comfortable people would be with an outside app aggregating that information.
I think that if I got a monthly email from every site that a) had information about me, and b) I expressly authorised to send me a monthly email asking if that information was still correct, that would not be too bad. Most sites satifsying (a) would fail (b). The only exceptions I can think of offhand are things like this, and dating sites.
