Cooking Lessons in Real Time--Google+ Cooking School

From the Huffington Post. For those of you who do Google+, check this out! To me, Google+ is the equivalent to Facebook (full of marketers, easy access to information, questionable privacy, and all the things Facebook has going against it), and I refuse to play unless I see and hear otherwise.

"Unless you've been hiding out from the internet the past two months, you've undoubtedly heard about Google+, Google's new project that "aims to make sharing on the web more like sharing in real life," according to their site. It's being touted as a real competitor to Facebook and Twitter, the current social media titans.

There are some significant differences between Google+ and its cronies, however, such as "Circles," "Huddle," and the innovative "Hangouts" feature. When you start a hangout, up to 10 users can video chat together all at once. The main screen will focus on whomever is predominantly speaking. Users can even watch a YouTube video together. The tech blog Mashable recently published an article about creative ways folks are utilizing Hangouts, and the "Google+ Cooking School" caught my eye."
