Well, come join us for some fun.  We have been having game night in a couple of our communities on Friday nights for a few months now.  
So a couple of us have decided to put together a show (HINT: maybe a few shows) for the public to see, watch and participate.

This will be tons of fun and should be very entertaining.

This weekend is the unofficial start of summer for those of us in the US so what better way to celebrate than with a Weekend Edition about Summer! 

Join us this Saturday, May 24th at 9am PT/10am MT/11am CT/12pm ET as we chat summer ideas with this fun line up of panelists:

Heather Kraafter - Kraaft Shaak  - Crafter extraordinaire & Google Hangout Host where she shows people how to create something from the heart using the latest techniques, and some old ones too, with no limits on the "rules" of crafting.  Heather will be sharing summer crafting ideas. #NotJustForChicks  - by the way

Debi Davis of 3D Communications (Debi Davis) - Business Communication Strategist & one of the most engaging people on Google Plus! Debi will lead a brainstorming session on how to prioritize & strategically manage time so we can enjoy the summer!

Larry Fournillier - one of my favorites chefs on the interwebs! He'll be joining us from Trinidad and plying us with food & drinks and getting us in the mood for summer. 

And don't forget, we LOVE comments from the #BatPack  Audience so throw out your questions & comments so I can shout you out during the show!

Selecting the Right Target

Selecting the Right Target

It's sad but true that few people bother with the Google+ hashtags, either relying on an automatic selection of leaving their posts with none. However, it also seems few people use their Circles effectively, either, and one culprit is the ability to post to Public, meaning anyone who has them in their Circles. This annoys me greatly as I mostly have people in my Circles for a given reason (e.g. genealogy), and so receiving posts about cooking, religious messages, etc., is inappropriate. Those posters could have shared with a specific Circle, or the customisable 'Your Circles' target, but no thought was really given to their audience.
 
Is this a problem with the Google+ concept, or a lack of education?

Hey everyone

Hey everyone,

My name is Lori from sunny Miami Beach, FL and I'm learning my way around HOAs in hopes to use it for my business. I'm looking to gain experience/practice in HOAs so I can host my own pet related (pet nutrition, holistic medicine, dog walking/pet sitting, etc.) HOAs and make YT videos as informational content for my clients. 

If anyone is looking to setup an HOA practice group add me to your circles or send me a message! I hear the best way to approach HOAs is through practice and guest appearances so that's what I'm working on first :-)

So, you've got two new Elaine's in User2User-LIVE, me, +Elaine Nieberding and my fairly new buddy, Elaine Starling .

So, you've got two new Elaine's in User2User-LIVE, me, +Elaine Nieberding and my fairly new buddy, Elaine Starling .
Now, maybe you know Elaine is a variation of Helen, whose meaning is light. So you get exponential light with the two Elaine's showing up.  Now, when I suggest to you "Lighten up", I mean "dump seriousness" - cause I'm a ho-ho-holistic nurse and teacher of Laughter Yoga.  So hello everyone, thank you Andrew Hatchett and Michael Daniels  and community for the fellowship and good works here.

I am hosting a live Hangout on Air Event next Tuesday at 3:30 PM Pacific Time.

Thanks so much for inviting me in.

Thanks so much for inviting me in. I learned about +User2user-Live through my wife Leila Martin. I am a 30 year dog trainer fixing dog behavior problems in the home. I am using HOA's to help people solve their dog behavior problems in Houston and out of town or out of state. I also use HOA's to do the academic part of teaching people to become dog trainers. I would like to "hone my skills" with Google+ hangouts on air and look at even more ways to incorporate it in my business. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Good morning.

Good morning. I learned about HOAs a couple of years ago and just like everyone else have been on a continuous learning curve ever since. I originally learned aobut User2User-Live through Ronnie Bincer's Hangout Mastery group.

When not watching PlusWORD or some other U2U game, I apply The SCOTT Treatment to HOAs.

Cousin Russ and I host weekly genealogy discussion HOAs, record short subject HOAs and recently tinkered with mobile HOAs at a big national conference.

The support from this group is nothing short of amazing.

Together we learn so much about the marvelous G+ tools -- making it easier to "get the word out" about our topic of interest.

Thx in particular to Andrew Hatchett, Michael Daniels and Heather Kraafter for working with me directly. Debi Davis
has helped Russ a lot. These are "good people". 😊

🎶We get by with a little help from our friends. 🎶

Good morning

Thankfully, I heard about this through the grapevine that is Heather Kraafter and Kraaft Shaak. It's been a terrific resource since I came back to G+.

I am a sports social media journalist & curator. I write, report, host a show or two (of course) and curate content all centered around sports and social media. Couldn't have done anything here on G+ without the kindness of this wonderful community.

Thank you Andrew Hatchett Michael Daniels, Heather, Debi Davis and everyone else involved in making this a go-to resource.

Hangout Drawing Game 5.18.2014

My name is Gregg Ghelfi and my company is Fit in the Middle.

My name is Gregg Ghelfi  and my company is Fit in the Middle. I found this through Ronnie Bincer's Master Google Hangouts community. I am trying to run Hangouts appropriate for my field (weight loss, fitness and nutrition) but would love to learn more about Hangouts, be a part other Hangouts (regardless of the topic) and become more proficient with them. Thank you for allowing me to join and I look forward to participating.

Greetings all.

Greetings all.  I am an online school owner (real estate) and online instructor.  My journey on G+ began in 2012 but I didn't "transfer over" in earnest until fall of 2013.  I've tried to be active, learn and be a good citizen along the way.  Not sure what I want to be when I grow up so am surrounding myself with people I can relate to.  I plan to use Hangouts to extend my student's learning experience and teach them about Google Plus as they begin their career.  I'm in this group because Michael Daniels told me to. :-)  I think I'm in the right place to learn.

Hi, I'm Leila and my husband, Jim Burwell and I are learning to use Google Hangouts to do private video coaching with our dog training clients.  

We are teach folks to become dog trainers and we're utilizing private Hangouts to teach the scientific segment of dog training which is a 4 week segment.  Then they come to us in person for hands on with dogs for the remainder of the training.  

We're looking to use Hangouts to add not only an additional component to our business, BUT allow us to live where we want and still train dogs!  What could be better than that!

ATTN: ALL MEMBERS - PLEASE READ

ATTN: ALL MEMBERS - PLEASE READ

Today there has been a slight change in how a person joins the User2User-LIVE! Community.

In the past anyone could join at any time. This has been changed and now a person must ask to join the community.

As we grow bigger and bigger it becomes difficult to keep up with who is who, what they do, and what they expect to gain from joining our community.

To help remedy this, I have added a new category, "Introduce  Yourself", to the menu. It is expected that all new members leave a short intro of themselves and a short statement of their goals in joining this community.

The statement of goals will help us in developing future activities and assist us in helping you reach those goals.

It would also be helpful if current members did likewise.

Thanks,

Andy Hatchett -Owner
