Multiple Hangout Apps working together now!
Now we can use more than one Hangout App at a time. For example, not too long ago we had to choose between wearing a Pirate Hat (via Google Effects) or showing our Lower Third graphic (via +Hangout Toolbox) ... Now we can have both, At the Same Time!
Multiple Hangout Apps are able to work together, cool 'behind the scenes' update... Thanks +Google+

I like your review of what is now for Google+ Communities (GPC)... however, I'm not seeing that prominent place for the creator in my GPCs... looks like it is only for the GPCs that are created by a Page (not a profile created GPC).
You can look at 2 of mine "GooTubePlus" or "HangoutHelpers" ...both are created by a profile and neither have that nice option to follow or the prominent placement of a 'created by' section.
I find, as a hangouts lover, I miss the GPC Hangouts options... But have learned that I can hold a Hangout with the GPC if I use the "Hangout Party" start area which seems to be the only place that allows me to invite the GPC as a circle... besides the Hangouts on Air invite window.
We still seem to have the issue of all the notifications per category disappearing when you click on any one of the categories, and I s... more »

Start a New Hangout Video Call (HVC) via a special link
Tip from the master: +chee chew... if you want to start a new HVC you can do so by using this special link: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_
It only seems to work if you open a new window or tab, then use the link there... otherwise you end up on the new Google+ HOA Page. Chee mentioned this here: http://goo.gl/KjWiX
What I see it useful for is the ability (which we currently don't seem to have) of ending up inside a HVC without inviting anyone. Some people may like to be inside the HVC interface just to poke around without inviting anyone. Note: You can get a similar result by inviting just yourself.
* And No, this method does not let you prep and then invite the Public circle since it acts like you have already sent out an invite once you are on the inside of the HVC. The Public circle c... more »

Bring it on! ...
A new #GooglePlus app version for #Android has been released and it brings many of the features announced for desktop at I/O last week.
All that automatic stuff that G+ now does to our #photograph s, like auto-enhance and such, now comes to the Android app too. It also includes some #Snapseed features, which I welcome very much since my phone is Snapseed incompatible.
There is more, though. Latitude, related hashtags, integration of the new #Hangouts app, etc. etc. Find out in the article.

New Google Plus Hangouts Sidebar
Examples of what goes on there
Here are a few ideas on how to use the Hangouts Sidebar that just got introduced to our Google Plus interface on May 15, 2013. You open up the Hangout Sidebar by clicking on the Green Quote logo which now represents Google+ Hangouts.
Hangouts can be video calls or messages. The top item says New Hangout... press that to start a new session. Add the people with which you care to 'hangout' and then select if you want to start with a Video Call or a Message.
Below that we have an Active Hangout Video Call... note the green camera icon. If you press that, you will join into an active video call that has multiple people already participating according to the 4 profile pics. I clicked it and found that it was a HOA video call, and decided I did not want to enter at that... more »

A New Way to Post a Hangout Video Call (HVC)...
Step by Step... Hangout Video Calls in the New Google Plus 3.0
Here is one way to create an inviting HVC (Hangout Video Call) inside the updated Google Plus.
As of May 15, 2013, we now have new ways to create our Hangouts. The old name for our the video chats has changed, so I'm starting to call them HVCs instead of what used to be known as "hangouts" (not the HOA type).
Check out this technique for setting up a HVC that is more inviting because it has a nice Image for others to see when they may be deciding if they want to enter or not. Great for Branding your HVC (video calls).

Anatomy of a Google Plus Post - updated for Google+ 3.0
Google PlusTips & Google Plus Basics
Important Interactive Elements of a Google Plus Post
With the update of the Google Plus design on May 15, 2013 we have quite a few changes. To help you understand some of them, I offer a visual guide to the clickable parts of a New Google Plus Post.
All the referenced or highlighted areas are clickable, including the Poster's name and profile picture. The Options Menu (expanded on the right) will show different options if you are a viewer or the author of the post.
This post was found inside a Google Plus Community (GPC) and was captured that way to show some of the additional areas possible on a post. It was originally created out on my Profile's stream, and then reshared into a GPC called "Hangouts on Air".

New Thumbnails for Live Hangouts on Air!
Just noticed new Thumbnails in the stream for our HOA shows! In the not too distant past we had generic thumbnails in the Google Plus Stream (They were Grey/Black with the words Hangouts on Air).
Now we can actually see some of the content of the live show via a thumbnail... Halleluja!
Here is the link to that show from which I grabbed the screenshot below:

Is this the new HOA Interactive model?
I'm a fan of running HOA shows (Hangouts on Air) packaged inside Google+ Events. +Dan McDermott is running his show this evening and has invited a group of folks to participate in new ways via the new Hangouts Interface shown below.
The HOA is streaming live, if you are on the 'guest list' you can jump into the live HOA video call any time there is an open spot in the HOA's filmstrip via the Green Bar shown here, and add your text comments amongst the 'show guests' at any time as well.
I think the Events' model still is a good one because people (that may not be guests on the 'inside' guest list) can interact and re-visit the show (before, live or after) but this may work well for an "insider's group" as well.
What do you think?

HOA Tips
Watch this short video to see how you start HOA (Hangouts on Air) now after the New Google Plus 3.0 has been released.
Things have changed!
HOA and regular Hangouts (video calls) are now separated to their own areas... you don't just check a box now to start one vs. the other.

Gmail and Google Calendar Automagical Activity!
Maybe this has been around for a bit, maybe not, but it is Awesome! +MaAnna Stephenson sent me an email about a webinar she is doing... I read the email inside Gmail, that email had a date and time in the text: Wed May 22 at 12:00 noon EDT
Gmail turned that text into a Link, and when I clicked on it, it popped up what you see below. It let me see that time Translated to my local timezone as well as showed me my other appointments in my Google Calendar... PLUS it let me add an entry to my calendar without ever leaving Gmail.
That's what I call Automagical Stuff!

New Hangout Tips... Click to see who is in the Hangout
When you start a Hangout (upper right) you can start things out as a Message or a Video Call or Both.
This one shows the message chat going on, and if you click (No. 1) on the person icon, the one with a 2 next to it for the number of folks in the 'hangout', you can see who is involved in the 'Hangout' as shown below (No. 2).
Since I was in the Video Call waiting on +Stephanie Calahan to join me, you can see my thumbnail image (on the right) and my icon in the Green Bar that states "You are in this video call".
BTW, when you check to see who is inside the Hangout (No. 2), the bottom shows a Cancel or Add people button... this lets you add more people to the hangout message area (maybe to the video call too?).. Cancel means bring me back to the No. 1 view.

What's a Hangout: Started with the Message... turned into a Video Call
The New Google Plus Terminology has some of us old timers wondering what happened! So here is a tip on what Hangouts can do now (as it relates to the old way).
This screen shot shows myself and +Paul Simbeck-Hampson in a quick meeting... It started out via a Hangout Message and then we decided to ramp it up a bit and continue it inside a Hangout Video Call... what most of us have been calling a "hangout".
I've noticed that if I leave the Video Call (on purpose or by accident) that I can click on the Green Bar up top of the Hangout Window and get back in (looks and feels like Chat)... not the Video Call window, but the "Hangout" Window!
Yes... this will take some time to get used to!

New Posting Tips: HashTag Focus
The New Google Plus treats #Hashtags differently
Google Plus now displays the first 3 hashtags you used in a post as Related Hashtags - they show in the upper right of the post. Click on one of them and the post Flips Around and then shows you other posts that use that same hashtag.
You can scroll through the list of related posts if you like... great way to discover other related postings.
So...
If you use more than 3 of them in your postings, you might want to use the most important ones first as they are the only ones displayed.
I have not tested this enough to see but I'd assume the others you might use in your post could help your post get 'found' as a related post even if they are not one of the first 3 you use... maybe +Google+ Help can confirm if all the ha... more »

Google Plus Event Graphics require a new size now...
Events Tips
The Event Themes (aka graphics) are now using a new size: 1200 x 300. This means that any custom ones you may have made will need to be resized or recreated.
I have a lot of them I made for Private Hangout meetings that take place inside Events. Since they all need to be 'fixed'. I guess I'll do a couple for now and fix the rest later.
I tried making some animated GIFs to see if I could make lemonade out of lemons but alas I could not make them work. If you figure out how to make your own animated Event Theme/Graphics, please let me know!

What's a Hangout Now?
Hangouts can be either text (message) or video (video call). In the past we thought of Hangouts as video chats, now we may want to start calling the video ones: video calls... as that is what Google Plus has named them.
How are you doing with the Mind shift.. doing OK?
BTW, you start a Hangout on Air (HOA) from the left sidebar/ribbon now. It has its own Page from which you start them.

Enhancements to the Hangouts API
Since the launch of Google+ Hangouts API last year, we have seen many developers bring the value of real-time communications to their apps. Today, we are announcing a few more enhancements that allow us innovate faster and enable you to build great apps.
Let’s take a look at what’s new:
New Release Process
We are adopting a Chrome-like channel system for our platform releases. We’ll have two channels:
Stable Channel: a single Javascript include gives you the latest and greatest APIs as they are finalized. We will do smaller, more frequent releases in a backwards-compatible manner.
Developer Channel: a playground for you to try out the earliest versions of new APIs and new features. Things will be changing rapidly here, so we’ll limit it to private apps, but you’ll be able to preview and influence th... more »
