Chatting and hanging out in G+ communities

Google + launched it's new social weapon at SMX and I have to say, I'm impressed. 

Google community pulls together features that you have probably had a play with but not really bothered to use in your daily workflows. 

The new profile screen allows users to connect and easily drop into video hangouts and live chat. 

If little lightbulbs aren't going off about the uses of this for outbound marketing and customer care for your brands then please leave the internet. 

You can add me on Google + here.

See the full gallery on Posterous

A few pics from #twitterbrekky this morning.

Mike Brown from Twitter International Growth said that "Australia is a priority market for Twitter".

The event focused on sports and featured Wendell Sailor and Omid Ashtari from Twitter sports and entertainment.

I'll write up some more of my thoughts later when I'm not on an iphone but here are some photos from the Sydney Cricket Ground event this morning.
