Google now lets YouTube users invite their friends to join group video chats and watch videos together via YouTube.com. Since Google publicly launch its Google+ social network in late June, the Hangouts feature (enabling group video chats that host up to 10 people) has let users simultaneously stream Youtube videos as they video chat with their friends. But now, Google has begun to promote Google Hangouts within Youtube, which receives 710 million visitors from across the world, according to an estimate from Google’s Doubleclick Ad Planner.

In what interesting ways are food tech innovators using Google+? Joining Studiofeast founder Mike Lee for his first Google+ cooking demonstration two weeks ago opened my eyes to just how disruptive Hangouts could (will) be. The experience got me thinking about other innovative ways Google+ could be used by people across the food supply chain. Some of my initial ideas included things like interactive journalism, panel discussions, research, and connecting consumers with food producers. Delete the scoop?

Google+ Hangouts are proving one of the most popular features of the new social networking service, but there’s no built-in option to record them. Until Google adds such functionality, we’ve found five workarounds to help you record your next Hangout — free. While we’d strongly suggest any G+ pros invest in specialist software, our solutions will suffice for capturing consumer Hangouts and offer easy sharing options, too. Delete the scoop?

Google+ is only a couple of weeks old and, as a result, individuals and brands are still figuring out what to make of them potentially game-changing social network.
While everyone else was experimenting, Scotsman Richard Paterson took advantage of the site to promote whisky. Paterson is the master blender for whisky brand Whyte and Mackay, and he’s also known as @The_Nose on Twitter. In August, he’s hosting a whisky tasting on Google+. Paterson intends to gather whisky fans using the site’s Hangout function, which allows for video chatting with multiple people. Delete the scoop?

Robyn Peterson, Mashable: "We just made the official switch to using Google+ Hangouts for internal Mashable product/tech meetings, and have stopped using skype audio/video chats entirely. Skype's lag and audio artifacts were just too much...and our Hangouts are really, really impressive."

At the Facebook news conference, a reporter asked Mark Zuckerberg what he thought of Google+. Zuckerberg responded by saying that lots of companies are going to build things like video chat, but Facebook competitors also have to build up their social graph first. Facebook’s job is to just keep innovating. It’s a perfectly reasonable response, and of course, he’s exactly right—the challenge is to get the user base, and make it easy for them to use your product. Done and done for Facebook. The integration looks great.

Google will eventually open up the Hangouts group video chat in Google+ to third parties, meaning anyone will be able to utilize Hangouts in their apps or services, according to Google Realtime Communications lead Justin Uberti.
Uberti says that Google “plans to publish the specifications needed to inter-operate with Hangouts,” though it will likely be some time before that actually happens. When the specs are eventually released, Hangouts will have yet another unique feature to lord over competitors like Skype. Delete the scoop?

YouTube is closely integrating Google’s Hangouts group video chat platform with its live streaming in an effort to make video watching more social. The site has already quietly begun to make live video feeds available to Hangouts users, and will eventually add tools to improve discovery of live streams both within Hangouts and on YouTube.com, I was told by YouTube Live Product Manager Brandon Badger this week.

Hangouts are one of the most fun features in Google+. As long as you have a webcam and a microphone, you can "hangout" with up to 10 of your buddies on Google+ and do just about anything. Of course, sometimes it can get kind of awkward when you are hanging out and you don't really have anything to say. This problem can be mitigated if you host hangouts with a plan.

As I spoke to more makers, it started to become clear that Google+ Hangouts might just be the “next hackerspace,” not in meat space, but in the online world where skill sharing, project sharing, and collaboration can finally happen (more easily). There were and are other ways to do this, but Google+ Hangouts seem to be the shiny new toy at the moment.

Dell could soon use Google’s new group video chat platform Google+ Hangouts as an alternative to the traditional customer service call, according to the company’s chairman and CEO, Michael Dell.

He’s used the video chat more than a dozen times since he joined Google+ in early July, and this Sunday, he posted the following question on Google+: I am thinking about hangouts for business. Would you like to be able to connect with your Dell service and sale teams via video directly from Dell.com? Delete the scoop?

Google+ looks like Google’s best effort yet in social media. To get a handle on industry reaction to Google+, we did a quick survey over the Fourth of July weekend of 451 GigaOM readers on Google+’s chances for success, its competitive weapons and its likely impact on other social companies. In a new research note at GigaOM Pro (subscription required), we analyze the results.
The available graph shows that the respondents thinks there will be big impact on Skype and Facebook, and low impact on Wordpress. Twitter, Foursquare and Tumblr are in the mid field. Delete the scoop?

Save for some minor improvements, Google+ offers nothing groundbreaking enough to drive the masses from Facebook. Almost every feature from "Circles" to "Streams" has a counterpart feature in Facebook.
The only notable exception is "Hangouts," the feature that lets you host group video chats with your friends. It's pretty cool, but again, I can't see someone ditching Facebook just so they can video chat. Yes, it will help that Google+ is baked into Google services like Gmail, but that still doesn't mean all those users will suddenly stop using Facebook because there's now a "+You" button at the top of their inboxes. Everyone's already on Facebook, and most don't use Gmail. A social network is no good unless your friends are on it too. As my colleague Dan Frommer put it: "It's like Facebook with no people".
