Google+ Hangouts Extras Make this a Serious Collaborative Resource..Rivaling Paid Web Conferencing Services

Google has done it again with the addition of new Google Hangouts Extras in the new Google+ social networking environment. New additions of powerful capabilities like actual real time collaboration using Google Docs, now makes Google Hangouts+ a serious collaborative resource that now rivals fee-based web conferencing services like WebEx, GoToMeeting, and iLinc that you have to pay a whole lot a bucks for... and Google Hangouts is absolutely free...so even the smallest micro-business can afford to get into the game. See this video and look at just some of the new capabilities:

• 10-seat video conferencing with real-time global conversation and no minute-by-minute costs
• Document collaboration using Google Docs, Presentations, Spreadsheets to do powerful work
• Desktop sharing - This could be a PowerPoint slide show used to share application screens
• Whiteboard features - A great way to globally brainstorm using graphics, text, symbols and images with folks across the region ...or across the world
• "View-podding" -  This is my favorite and what we are doing front-running work A pod of people can view a YouTube video together and talk about it together...This can be awesomely powerful...if the community-authored web television is powerful. This can be powerful tool for transforming entire communities and for revitalizing local economies. "
  
  A technical note: Only a few years ago, accessing this kind of capability costed more than $10,000 for licensed use, and it wasn't as good or as convenient to access as it is today. The same can be said of today's low-cost almost no cost web television technology.
