Google Hangouts Are Good And Solid

Google Plus HangoutsThis post does not surprise many people that have added me to their circles on Google+. Even in the latest episode of Jason², Jason Markow mentions how he believes that I’m in “…every single hangout…”  which may or may not be true(start a hangout, see if I show up), but I’ve used Google Hangouts as soon as I got on Google+.

The cause for this blog post is I just hosted a Hangout for our Fantasy Football draft, and it was just so fun. There was smack talk going on for this upcoming season, there was sighs when the person they were going to draft next got picked by someone else. And it contained people in the same town as me, and people 100′s of miles away. Hangouts brought it all together.

I would like to see more creative ways that people use Hangouts. There’s been a few good ways that I have seen Hangouts being used….

  • Podcasts
  • Book Clubs
  • Tech Support
  • Community Gatherings
I’ve been saying since day one that businesses should use Hangouts as customer support. Takes a more personal level when your customer can see your face and realize that you’re actually paying attention to them instead of replying to emails while you’re on the phone with them.

What I want to know, is what is the most creative way you’ve seen people use the Hangout feature in Google+?
