This could be a big deal. I expect to see a lot of live singing from singers now, speeches from important people and so on.

This is the big thing, the whole "join a hangout" never got me interested. I don't want to communicate with some random guys on the internet, but passively joining a Hangout with some interesting people would be great.

The first programming conference on G hangout, I am desperately waiting to join you.

This Google Hangout thing is the biggest success story out of mediocre Google Plus. They appear to have found the next evolutionary entity after YouTube. It fits so nicely and it has a huge potential as a game-changer beyond TV viewership.

Add the availability of green-room technology for average computer user and one can imagine the possibilities.

What's mediocre about Google Plus? Sure, it's missing users compared to Facebook but UX and UI are great.

This is extremely awesome, and I'll be using it in several businesses pretty much immediately.

As a tool for bringing communities together to listen to people with things to say, this is going to be a game-changer, IMO.

What is this blogspot theme they're using? Pretty cool.

What's the point of having all the text generated with Javascript, and wasting all that vertical space both at top and bottom?

Looking forward to Anonymous TV....hack the planet guys. =)

And if Google puts commercials in these things, I hope they die a painful death.
