google +

i joined google + for the video chat..
been craving a virtual space where you felt like you had just left an intimate coffee house convo..
been hanging out with some amazing people working on awakening indispensable people

and last night was privileged to join Paul Allison's hangout:
the entire stream
convincing me to switch to chrome
can mute self - can select main video - by clicking on person, click on again to go back to default
many cam or cam twist - sounds like they are all on mac
using ustream - edtedtalk has a ustream channel
jeff is using 2 computers
many cam and audio from computer 2, computer 1 - gets mic - becomes part of stereo mix? 
how to use ustream
ustream automatically records, Jeff also uses sam cast, which just does audio, but quality is much better
paul's voices: local community, global attitude
you can screen share if you have many cam or cam twist and then in hangout options, click on that camera
in hangout - doesn't matter who starts hangout - if they lose connection, it goes on
cross pollination - so you have a group that is connected and you don't want to keep people from joining in, but you also don't want to bother people
(i'm thinking that's the beauty of circles)
talked about daisy something


the youtube portion:


yeah.. we're getting closer.
love it.


just got this email - 4 problems with google+ that we fixed
