8 Ways to Use Google+ Hangouts for Your Business Kristi Hines
Google+ Hangouts are a great way to hold group meetings, interact with customers, interview people and share
your expertise. In this article you’ll discover eight ways to use Google+ Hangouts for your business.
I spent hours studying about Google Hangouts before I tried the service. I discovered I would have been better off learning the basics and then jumping in and learning experientially with a few friends and colleagues.
This article provides some valuable information to help you get value from this free service.
And if you are even mildly serious about it, join one of the several Google+ communities dedicated to helping with the platform. For example, the very helpful Hangouts on Air community, which saved my bacon for a webinar I was hosting this morning.
(But wait! See the next item.)
How Blab.im Will Beat Google Hangouts at Their Own Game Joel Comm
Blab.im provides the user experience that Google Hangouts intended to, but never lived up to. I’ve been
conducting both spontaneous and scheduled Blabs for just over a week, and the people I am inviting and engaging with on the site are universally excited about the service.
... In fact, the last time I was this excited about a new opportunity in technology was when Apple announced that they were making the software
development kit available to make apps for the iPhone.
I'm excited about Blab.im too. I've already hosted one session and have another scheduled for the end of next week. Topic is Leadership & riding the wave of digital disruption and I have a co-host from Los Angeles, Sandi Coryell who also does leadership coaching. US times - Thursday Sept 10, 4 pm Pacific
time; Australia Friday Sept 11, 9 am eastern time. Do drop in and say hello. In the meantime, check out Blab.im for yourself - very easy to join (warning! can be addictive!).
My New Podcast Show, Let's Talk Leadership, now on iTunes and Stitcher
After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing I finally submitted my podcast show to iTunes and - for those who can't get iTunes on their phone or think they can't, or just want a different player - to Stitcher Radio. Approvals for both directories have now come
through.
The podcast show is Let's Talk Leadership: Conversations about Challenges and Opportunities for Leadership in the Digital Age and includes regular interviews with leaders, leadership coaches and authors.
Subscribe links are: iTunes Stitcher
And I'd love some reviews too! :)
