The Official Google Blog has details on a nice improvement to the hangout function that I've been talking about recently. You can now broadcast live onto your G+ profile page, your YouTube channel and to any page that you can embed HTML code into. You can see how many viewers you have, and the session will be recorded for you so that you can keep it and make available to other people.
This is a great idea - if you want to keep people on your site just embed the code and people can watch from the site or page that they're happy with going to - and if you are from an organisation like a school for example the site is giving the hangout authority at once. Moreover, if you're having a discussion about a book club for example, you can save the chat so that people who were unable to be there at the time can catch up later. It's also going to be very useful if you're running a training course or induction session as well. I can see how it's going to be really useful. Here's a video that explains it quite neatly:
