Professors Consider Classroom Uses for Google Plus - Wired Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Google + Project | Scoop.it
Google Plus, the social-networking platform, is so new that most Internet users are not yet able to see it—an invitation is required while the service is in its test phase. But some professors who have tried it say they already see possible uses for teaching and research if the service catches on.

Google ran out of disk space on Google+

Google ran out of disk space on Google+ | Google + Project | Scoop.it
INTERNET GIANT Google has admitted that it ran out of disk space for part of its Google+ social networking service, resulting in a storm of alert notifications to users.
Vic Gundotra, SVP of social [networking] at Google, revealed the situation on his Google+ profile, where he said, "For about 80 minutes we ran out of disk space on the service that keeps track of notifications. Hence our system continued to try sending notifications. Over, and over again. Yikes."
He added that Google did not expect to hit such a high threshold so quickly, but that it should have known better. We can't help but agree, as surely Google would have put a massive infrastructure in place to cope with the load expected from a large number of users joining and using the network.

What if students were empowered to lead hang out discussions and if necessary the teacher could move from discussion to discussion.
What if the teacher set discussions with groups of students as it made sense.
This could be great for meetings of educators who are not from the same school. Think librarian hangouts, science teacher hangouts, etc.
This is a nice tool that could be more efficient for staff who are located in different districts. Rather than spend time commuting, just set up a hang out.
