Google+ Hangouts looks like a gamechanger to me!

Go check out the Google + Tour.  Make sure to check out "HANGOUTS!"

Hangouts is a video chat room. Now, such things do exist now - most aren't free and none of them are as accessible and user friendly as this looks like it will be. I can see this also making use of our forward facing smartphone cameras!!  Finally right!?

And also...

...the thing that was extra sweet for me, was the "CENTER STAGE."  Whoever talks loudest takes center stage... which might finally show that one friend that they talk to much...(Yes I'm talking about you Jon!)

I think it's brilliant and has the potential to bring like minded people closer, even over large distances. Hangouts might put the social into social media.

I 'd love to use it with other worship leaders, church ministry voices, and bloggers.

If anyone knows more about this... hook me up!
