Google+ Hangouts On Air allows users to broadcast live video to anyone
I'll tell you one thing that Facebook has to worry about if they don't relax on a bunch of their regulations and policies. That thing is "Google."

Google has the the coding experts to create the platforms, the obvious connection to nearly every person in America and the tenacity to remain OPEN, as far as what's behind their coding. When you want to "share" something, for example with Google, there are 101 different elements you can personalize within your icon link that would give props to your site, or that of whomever you'd like.
The demise of Facebook will be their iron curtain. As soon as people are so close to figuring out how it all works, they change their format and policies.
If you're one watching the the whole 'social networking' gamut play out, perhaps searching for where you might fit in, or where your business' presence might be served for the sake of increasing the bottom line- keep Google in sight. Check it out- get a Google + account or addition to your existing Gmail / Google account.

Google has announced Hangouts On Air is being rolled out, a feature which aims to give Google+ users a way of broadcasting live video to anyone and everyone. On Air was originally introduced last September, but only a select few broadcasters and celebrities had the opportunity to use it -- that is, until today.
Hangouts On Air is an amped-up version of Hangouts, a feature which allows Google+ users to start up video chats with friends. Hangouts, however, have been limited to Circles, which has meant that joining a Hangout required a Google+ account. Unlike traditional Hangouts, Hangouts On Air will be available to anyone, regardless of membership status.
Additionally, the new feature will integrate with YouTube. When a public broadcast is finished and goes off air, Google+ can upload a recording to the user's YouTube channel. Once there, people may then share and discuss your broadcast even after it is over.
Broadcasters will also be able to see how many people are watching, manage users who join the Hangout and focus attention to certain members when desired.
The rollout, according to Google, will "take some doing" so the company plans on gradually introducing the feature. To get started, look for an option to "Enable Hangouts On Air" over the next few weeks.
