Vicki:I've learned a lot from from your course I'm using it to teach local businesses how
they can build a community of viewers through social media channels using Google Hangouts,
it's a free tool. you know they can maybe buy a couple of informational products here
and there depending on how fast they want to learn. depending on their budget and they
can put something together fairly easily and I just want to show people how to do that
me and I think you'll agree I'm on the right track.
Zane:yes you're definitely on the right track and this is an interesting thing that uh...
that i've been realizing since i've been working with hangouts. I started in august of 2012
around there uh... but uh... hangouts had still
already been around i mean when uh...Fladlein was saying before any in hangouts that we
do see it's it's a newish technologies, not brand new not completely cutting-edge in fact
many more of the uh... of our buyers are using and consuming hangouts before even marketers
saw and paid attention to it. everyone else is hey hangouts, we use it all the time. Of
course it's the marketers that aren't seeing it just yet but now it's really being picked
up, a lot of people are seeing the power and the potential of it and like you said before
pulling in communities towards you because you have this banner of
content if you will, these live broadcasts that of course every marketer goes oh you
mean like a gotowebinar? that well yeah um... but more social more dynamic more interesting
it's what everybody's already plugged into anyway with youtube just on a whole new level.
Vicki: right right and and i think a lot of it like
right now I've only experimented with a few one-on-one interviews with people so far and
my audience that i've talked to, they think that you can only do one on one but no, you
can do ten people all at one time and they don't
have to be on air, you can have private team meetings tI also intend to use it when i have
client meetings and if I want to discuss something private with a client, we can have a private
hangout, just us. so
Zane: exactly and that's one of the greatest things that I like about it. You could do
live in bring an audience together but you can also get your team members together or
bring in new sharp people and say okay this is how we're doing it and in fact a lot of
the apps beyond the uh... hangout toolbox for the lower third there are are apps meant
specifically for team meetings like flow charts and slides things like that that uh... are
meant to be displayed for a live audience but meant to be more for a team meeting type
thing.audience but as men just to be more like a team meeting sort of thing and
it connects to... click to hear the entire interview.
