Google Plans to Open Hangouts for Interoperability

Google Plans to Open Hangouts for Interoperability | The Google+ Project | Scoop.it
Hangouts, the group video chat component of Google Plus that everyone’s been raving about, could eventually be usable with other video chat clients and services as well. Google Real-time Communications Tech Lead Justin Uberti wrote this weekend on his blog that the company plans to publish the specifications necessary to interoperate with Hangouts.

Opening up Hangouts could be a boon for developers of smaller third-party apps and possibly even kick-start the development of mobile clients (the feature is currently only usable from the desktop), but bigger competitors can’t be happy about this idea.

Gmail gets a Google+-like makeover

Gmail gets a Google+-like makeover | The Google+ Project | Scoop.it
Google is giving Gmail users a glimpse of design updates that will roll out over the next few months.

Those updates will make the email service look a whole lot like the company's just-launched social network, Google+ .

In a blog post Thursday, Jason Cornwell, a user experience designer at Google, noted that the company is aiming to give Gmail a cleaner look and make it easier to use.

Gmail isn't the only Google application that's getting a makeover this summer. According to Cornwell, Google Calendar will also get a new look that will be revealed in the next few days.
