I have participated in a couple of Google+ hangouts before and think its a great communication tool so I thought we’d launch our own regular hangout. This first one was very improvised but I still hop you enjoy it. Check below the embed for a run-down of what we discussed.
- General LAMB news (new LAMBforums interface, #massHERD sundays and Lions 4 LAMBs)
- Intro to French Toast Sunday
- Movie and TV-discussion (House of Cards, Zero Dark Thirty, Hitchcock, Hit and Run, Side Effects (possible spoilers), Safety Not Guaranteed and Shallow Grave.
Really dug this – I’d love to get a LAMBcast going on this, but am still a bit worried about how the connection would fare. Also bummed I couldn’t make this one, but you and Lindsay were engaging and entertaining. Can’t wait to see more.
To be honest my experience is that hangouts actually work better than Skype… at least compared to some LAMBcast recordings. Also you can prepare in a way to limit problems Google recommend using Chrome etc. And when being more than 3 people it helps if people mute them selves when not speaking and everyone uses headphones.
I really want to do another one of these! As soon as I get a little free time (LOL) I’ll try to jot down some ideas for future hangouts.
Awesome!!! I think if we can schedule them when people actually have time to watch them live it will add another dimension to them.
