Google+ hangout is being used in a whole lot of new ways every day and this is a great example how useful it can be. Interacting with your customers and taking live questions and answering them irrespective of where you or your customers are a great step forward. This is a key milestone towards the next generation interaction with customers.

Watch out Jenny Murphy‘s google+ profile page for details about all future google+ hangouts from the google webmaster team.

If this becomes successful, we’ll be seeing more and more google plus hangouts out there soon. In this particular case of webmaster’s, life will be a lot easier instead of posting a question on the forum and waiting for a answer, we could take this question up directly with the webmaster team and get it addressed right away. Way to go in our opinion!!!.
