That sounds cool. I haven&#039;t gotten that involved yet, so I might have to try that out sometime.

Unfortunately, I&#039;m thinking about making the switch to the iPhone, so I may not be able to take full advantage of it. We&#039;ll see.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The thing I have used G+ most for is the Huddle feature. Huddle is essentially Google&#039;s chat feature (originally just in GMail, but now fully integrated) for groups. It&#039;s mobile-only right now, and it&#039;s almost like bringing back the IRC or chatroom days. You get some people in your Circles and put them in a Huddle together. When somebody posts, everyone gets to read it and can respond.

This is great for planning and coordinating on the go. What first started out as &quot;Hey, wanna grab breakfast&quot; between myself and two friends (one of them is the artistic director for the theatre I work at frequently) has turned into a great way to coordinate some things for the theatre. And since we all are on the Android bandwagon (some more than others), when someone wants to contribute or has a question, we are all involved instantly.

I have also tried the Hangout feature (I think it&#039;s computer-only for now), which is essentially group video chat. It&#039;s Telepresence for the masses. I got a few friends together, we just did a quick chat. Someone left and grabbed some food, it was fun. I could see this as a great tool for not only personal video chat (battling Skype), but also as a cheap teleconference solution. Combine a Hangout with Google Docs and you have most everything WebEx can do (aside from recording and actual desktop sharing -- for now), but in the somewhat-benevolent umbrella of Google.

For actual social use, Facebook is still king. However, when you&#039;re tired of liking kitten videos, etc., G+ has a bit more of what you may want as a communication tool.]]></description>
