There is a big difference between television and live television. Live television comes alive because there is anticipation and excitement about what is going to happen next.
Photographer John Butterill applied this principle to Google+ Hangouts by taking it mobile, and indeed there is an equally significant, if not remarkable difference.
The short video below shows you how John and his friends used Hangout to take the audience on a virtual ride.
John Butterill started a movement.
By combining mobile with a Google+ Hangout he dramatically enhanced its value, while also engaging his professional community who enthusiastically joined him in doing the same. This is yet another Google+ game changer.
Surely this is giving you some ideas for using Hangouts to make your business come alive.
I’m already getting some ideas for local retailers, floral and landscape professionals, and so many other mainstream businesses that need to make their art and expertise come alive to differentiate their business from so many others.
What are yours?

Hey Jeff,
I singed up for Google+ a few months ago but hadn’t really gotten to “working it”. Your post & John’s video inspired me!
Doreen – I love making finds like this! This opened my eyes too. Actually, I discussed this with another speaker over lunch today and he is equally enthused.
Jeff,
This inspired me and is going to make me take a closer and longer look at Google hangouts. Thank you.
You’re welcome Patty. I’ve been relying on Skype but that video also inspired me to consider the many possibilities.
My mastermind group recently met on Google+ video chat, and it was light years better than being on the phone. Loved the video.
Thanks Marilyn – Now that is just one more application for Hangouts. Thanks for sharing that.
BTW, if you hear of others looking for a mastermind let me know. I’m trying to get one started or join one.
Jeff – Haven’t ever tried a hangout. I have not explored the various Google functions but I’m going to do it this week!

Good for you Joe – I’ve only tried a few myself, but now we see there is so much more potential.
It’s possible Hangouts may become the most valuable aspect of Google+ as they keep integrating more features into it.
I have been inspired to try a hangout! Thank you for sharing, Jeff.
