Tips For Google+ Hangouts
I have been using Google+ hangouts ever since it came out and in the past couple of months, I have used it to effectively run online panel discussions on various topics of interest.

Google+ Hangouts On Air and SMBs
Yesterday Google unwrapped the Google+ Hangouts on Air to general public with relatively little fanfare. This is part of Google’s social strategy but the product has the potential to disrupt many startups in the space, especially the ones targeting consumers and SMBs. Google could flex their Youtube muscle to literally shove them away. Google+ hangouts [...]

The lifecycle and stages of a social network
Thanks to Scott Berkun for triggering me here, and of course this was related to Google+: @drmstream there is a blog post waiting to be written about the lifecycle/stages of a social network.

Sorry Facebook, Here’s Why Google+ Plus is Better
By Mark Fidelman on July 11, 2011
