Ms. Haugen Said "{this is a} Great example of applying Google+ in ways we didn't plan for!" Google Hangouts is a feature that allows users to hangout LIVE via video and/or voice simultaneously from anywhere in world. One person is trying to set the record for the longest continuous Google+ Hangout, currently (Sat. July 23, 2011, 7PM EST) it's been running for more than 4 days! that's over 48 hours of folks talking about all things Google+ and so much more. It's being kept alive by a rotating group of people from all over the world numbering 169 at this time.
