Today's Legacy Family Tree webinar on Google Plus - titled "Google + - The Next Big Thing" is now available to view, for FREE, on this site:
http://www.millenniacorp.com/_videos/webinars/2011-08-15-googlep/2011-08-15-googlep.html
The guests on this webinar were:
* Paul Allen of FamilyLink.com, who spoke about the website Google Plus (https://plus.google.com) - how it started, how it's grown, etc.
* Dan Lynch (author of the book Google Your Family Tree), who spoke about and demonstrated how to use Google Plus.
* Mark Olsen of FamilyLink.com, who spoke on and demonstrated how to participate in a Google Hangout - a video chat room.
My name came up on Dan Lynch's screen, showing one of my G+ Stream posts along with Dan's:
My Chula Vista Genealogical Society colleague, Susi Pentico, has been very active with Mark on Google Hangouts, and is shown below in a screen capture:
Noted genealogy blogger, Lorine McGinnis Schulze, was on the Google Hangout also, here's a screen shot of Lorine:
I thought that this webinar was very well done. Paul's and Dan's presentation was in the traditional webinar form - slides with a voice over. Mark's was done live with actual participants on the Hangout shown, while Mark spoke over them - that was risky from a technical standpoint, but it worked really well.
If you have two hours, go check out this webinar at http://www.millenniacorp.com/_videos/webinars/2011-08-15-googlep/2011-08-15-googlep.html. It will be available for free until at least August 25th. You can purchase a CD of the webinar for $9.95 from the Legacy Family Tree Store here.
I agree on the premise. Google plus is the next big thing. Back then, plus generated a lot of buzz worldwide and months after launch, plus is going strong due to the google app engine.
