Have you seen the *Crowdcast APP within the HOA dashboard?*
Heard about it some, or experienced it as a viewer/engager or webcast host?  For expanding reach and engagement on webcasts, and more?

By the way, if this is inappropriate content for this community, let me know, please.

If curious, you can visit www.crowdcast.io, 
or also catch the latter part of an "earlier in June"  crowdcast hangout by Manolis Sfinarolakis (Reality Crowd TV shows).  Roland Takaoka's last Saturday Marketing Smarties show also had Molly YG talking about it.

TUES June 23 I'm interviewing the developer and CEO of Crowdcast on the 2 pm Eastern holyshiftshow.  Molly Youngblood Geiger is my guest co-host for this show - so we'll be exploring!   Event page is https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cgfjrsk5rmk2i5tqojdagd6t0p4

Less than a week ago, I heard about this app (that can ramp up engagement with comments, polling, question posing, time-stamped question-answering, and more) for webcasts initiated by Hangout on Air, Livestream and Ustream. I've played with it a little bit.  It's free, product "in evolution" by a young man named Cy Hossain "Saidur Hossain)" .  

In the same way Hangout developers at Google receive feedback and hangout host functionality wishes from  , developer Cy Hossain   is looking for feedback so this product can be perfected.   
At this stage, this is something far simpler than Webinar Jam Studio, but has some fascinating features, and at this point does not have a licensing fee for use.  How he'll monetize - that's another story...

You'll likely hear Cy's story about the emergence of this app - it's fascinating.

I'm  not attempting to list or describe all the features here - but it is an app that can provide live and replay access to public or (select)  unlisted attendees with all of the engagement factors of this "wrapper" in place (that would be missing from YouTube access.
 Event creation by a host can have it set up to acquire e-mail of attendees, or not.  A notice/invitation link to a Crowdcast event can be placed in a Facebook, Twitter, or G+ feed - (and other places for sure).  

Be on the lookout for opportunities to practice using CrowdCast - we can create dummy/fun events and learn together.

Over and out!
