J. Goss+ joined Google+ last week. The address is:https://plus.google.com/107410133753245160111
After starting the account searches seem to find the + identity easily.
The Google+ hangout (live video conferencing) looks useful. Eleven video feeds. The person holding hangout can share the screen with documents (especially Google docs) and video (especially Youtube).
Somewhere there is a recording function with a Youtube connection. Notes taken be easily saved as google docs.
The author hasn't yet gone to someone else's hangout nor found a gadget (badge) to put on the side of this Google blog to follow J. Goss on Google+.
Research will continue with the expectation of:
- finding someone out there who is using the technology
- recording a hangout of a transportation or telecommunications discussion
Updates will be added as comments to this post.
