Rumor has it that the New York City Hangout In Real Life +HIRL #NYCHIRLis up to about 100 people. ONE HUNDRED Google+ fans and friends coming in from across the world to meet each other face to face. Think about that for a second… it's mind-blowing.
ONE HUNDRED people who met on a social network of 100 million and developed such amazing friendships that it was impossible not to fly / train / drive / taxi / walk to get to a place where we could all BE together. We are taking just a bit of time away from our lives, families, and jobs to make our worlds bigger and actively include more people in our lives. EPIC.
I will bet that when the Googlers first put this idea to code almost two years ago they couldn't have dreamed how profound an impact it would have to so many lives. Personal, professional – it doesn't matter. The platform has forged friendships, some romance, lots of business, and above all else proven without a doubt that the computer on your desk can rip the world wide open for anyone that is willing to take the leap.
Google+ is not only a game changer – it's a life changer.
I'm heading in today after lunch & will be at the Google offices for about 4pm – then it's dinner and a party!

Simply awesome. We need one down here in Cajun Country.. Foods great..
Sorry for last post. You had not posted this when I posted it…
My first hang out was the one you hosted the other night and Wow! How cool. I did have some connection problems when I tried to join the private invite afterwards, but I think that was on my end, not yours. I agree, with you. This could be a life changer.
Have a wonderful time today!
Okay, who is up for helping me organise one in London? It needs to be someone with a reasonable follership as I try to keep mine small.
I would suggest the Pitcher and piano in Kingsway which I have used for similar things before. Easily reachable as just near Holborn Tube.
Ok, I'm confused. I thought hangout were currently limited to ten participants. Is this not true?
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
+Kristin Boster I think the only limitations apply online. Once you move into real life you have more flexibility.
+Kristin Boster we are meeting up in 'real life'! There are HOA's Hangout on Air that lets 10 in and an unlimited amount view only. It's how I do my 'shows' online
You take my breath away. Wow.
