Great Summary of some Google Plus (and Hangouts) Tips
I'll admit Ray Hiltz has featured a lot of my material here in his weekly newsletter, but he does it in such a great way, I'm honored to share it!

He takes my HOA Top 10 mistakes video and adds his own twist on the countdown. Plus shows some great stuff about CircleCount and then sums things up with how to adjust your Google Calendar to avoid Event Spam. 

Thanks Ray!

Hi Russ.

Hi Russ.  Thanks for pointing me to the video's about Hangouts.  I've watched them and I'm still confused.  I understand the big picture but I'm having trouble with specific functionality and I'm hoping you can help me.  Let me explain my objectives and you can let me know if you can be my muse.

I am the First Vice-Regent of Roswell King DAR chapter, in Dunwoody, Georgia.  Our chapter is unique in a several ways and I'm trying to make a more cohesive group.  Our chapter meets on the third Tuesday of each month (except 3 months in the summer) from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  Our chapter is organized for working women.  Part of our membership are retired working women, the other part of our membership consists of working women.  My goal is to find a way to include both sides of working women.  Our retired members are advanced in age and are mostly unavailable for meetings.  Our working women wear many hats.  Their schedules are packed between work and family.  I believe HOA's will be an excellent way to bridge the gap between working and retired members.

To complicate matters, the women wanting to join our chapter are typically working professionals with limited time.  Our chapter Registrar is stepping down after 8 years and we have no one as a capable replacement.  I want to use HOA's as a way to communicate with our prospective members.  As with any lineage society, there are specific guidelines on how to fill out the application.  I want to be able to interact with one or more person's to guide them in the application process.  Additionally, I need to provide an avenue whereby others in my chapter can help.

Is there any way you and I could talk real time so you could walk me through the process of actually doing a HOA?  The video's provide some information but I'm missing a few key points.  I'd really appreciate your time and instruction - and so would our chapter!  Thanks - 

Marsha

I have blogged about this and will blog about it more in the future.

I have blogged about this and will blog about it more in the future. Thought I would share this short subject Hangout On Air HOA with you.

I have a few more blogs that I am planning, based on this short video.

Google Hangouts Update: Wider Thumbnail Image for YOU
2 min Video: When you are on the inside of a Hangout Video Call or a Hangout on Air (HOA), you will now see a wider version of your own thumbnail image in the filmstrip. But only your thumbnail and only on the Inside of the Hangout Interface.

This change just happened on the 19th of June, 2014.

Check out this quick 2 minute video that shows the inside of a HOA broadcast. It helps you understand why the thumbnail change matters and you'll also get a quick view of another update that just happened called "Pinning". We used to call the same function "Blue Boxing" but now that the box around the thumbnail image is white, we likely will start calling it "pinning".

I've got another video in the works to go into further detail on how pinning works for Hangouts and HOA (Hangouts on Air).
