I would actually consider +1’ing Hangouts!

If you’re like everybody I know–you’ve never used Google+ other than to sign up for it and then say to yourself, “Wait, nobody’s using this–this is lame.”
Totally understandable and true.
However, I’ve been layed-up this past week with a knee surgery and in my free time I decided I really wanted to give G+ a solid try.
My conclusion–nobody uses it still and therefore it’s still lame. BUT, I am now a full and complete believer in ‘Google+ Hangouts’
If you’ve never done it, dust off your Google+ account and try it–RIGHT NOW!
It’s Google’s video call service and yes–it’s pretty much just like Skype. But, it is absolutely worth trying just for the effects.
In a stroke of pure Googality, you can do things like wear a pirate hat or a dog face that follows your face as you move in front of the webcam.
I’ve done probably five or six hangouts now and pretty much the only thing we do is mess with the effects–and it doesn’t seem to get old.
There is another pretty cool feature where you can watch YouTube videos together, which my old roommate Sean and I messed around with yesterday.
In conclusion, Hangouts are so cool that I may consider using Google+ for some social networking just as a thank you.
Just kidding, that’s ridiculous.
P.S. If you ever wanna Hangout, just look me up. I’m quasi-obsessed.
