HANGOUT
• Hangout is similar to Skype group chat
• You start a Hangout and invite either individuals, or entire circles
• Google on Circles privacy and visibility:“Since the hangout you're in is visible by the circles of the other hangout participants, people you don't know may learn that you're hanging out.”
• Invite through Circles for public hangouts
• Invite each person individually for private hangouts

TELL YOUR STORY• You ALL have a unique story about yourself, your life, your business
• Use the tools to tell that story
• Keep it real, authentic, genuine. Don’t be someone you’re not.

BREAKING NEWS• Google+ WILL be open for businesses very shortly
• Not to worry, not a land grab like Twitter
• Verification will roll out to people gradually, celebrities first
PREDICTIONS

• Ability to target your Circles demographically
• Ability to upload your contact list from a database file
• Unlimited audiences for Hangouts (now limited to 25?)
I believe Google+ for Business will include:
