Google Plus Hangouts is one of the coolest features of Google+. No, this is not the place where you get to say, “Dude! Let’s Hangout!” Instead, Google Plus Hangouts is a terrific video chat location where you can have chats with multiple people at one time in order to discuss various projects and campaigns with colleagues along with a place that would be great for connecting with prospects online.

Nice training Andy, it was chilltastic 🙂
What can I say about Google+ that I haven’t already said.
This feature is really helpful, this will streamline business projects
and also help companies save money. It’s also great for networking
and really connecting with people one on one.
What other features do you like?
Thanks for sharing !!
John,
Chillastic! That was all that you needed to say.
I like how it integrates with other parts of Google. I could be on gmail or google analytics, but the notifications catch my eye. Check it quickly and then go back to what I was working on.

Wow did not know that google was offering so much I had heard about google circles and the +1 feature but that upto10 video calls at once and been able to share youtube videos whilst on a call is amazing, why didn’t facebook think of that?? There chat feature is rubbish as one can only chat with one person at a time otherwise you have to do it through another messaging system. Good points Andy. Thanks for sharing.

Jans,
Facebook is looking to integrate Skype into their chat, but it is a few months away. Google definitely pulled the rug out from Facebook and Skype.

Hi Andy,
I just love the way Google+ works so synergistically with all of Google and it can only get better. I agree with John that Google is creating something so powerful in networking and connecting with people – it’s all about collectively coming together and collaborating or connecting one on one. Great stuff!
Loren,
That is one of my favorite things as well. It finally seems like the internet is finally integrated.
