What was the problem with Skype? Well, at first, really nothing. It was a perfect way to connect and discuss with friends, co-workers, and work associates in a professional fashion. So what was really wrong with it? Well, the biggest problem I had with it was that it would be “inexpensive” at first, but much like Netflix, after a few months maintaining this feature becomes very pricy.

You can’t really blame Skype, or Netflix either for that matter, they are just two dogs looking for a bone. Since Google+ introduced their Google+ Hangouts on the Air, they have grown in popularity pretty quickly.
Broadcast video is one of the few technologies that don’t really have a giant figure head for their industry yet. Skype was one of the first mediums that really picked up some type of serious following, but like most one hit wonders; they’ve fallen off into the abyss that is the broadcast industry.
Google+ HOA is free – a 100% free telecommunication broadcasting system that works just like Skype does. You use your sign on name and password, create your circles and let the chatting begin. There are a million reasons why this is a great tool for business and social media marketing in general however, there is one reason that stands out.
The biggest advantage that this system gives to social media is a video identity. Much like how Facebook was a pioneer of its medium at the time it was started is just like HOA only HOA relates to video, which is another big step for social media in the right direction. Facebook Chat has been known to be like AIM was – you want a lot of folks on your buddy list but not necessarily everyone talking to you. Facebook Chat can be a little creepy at times, as well, depending on who is going to try to chat with you.
This tool can serve as a great way to meet with business associates, for example if you are holding a conference for your online marketing firm and a client, you can connect and talk with them right from your desk. Instead of spending a lot of money on gas to drive into the nearest city and pay for the tab of a nice restaurant, you can get all of your business down expense free.
I know that it almost sounds too good to be true, but this is the fact of what Google+ has done for our businesses. Use wisely my friends; this telecommunication tool could definitely become something that becomes a natural part of business, as well as everyday interaction.
