Remember to +Hangout and #starttalkingecon, today at 6pm!

Tonight we're going to do a little test run on Google+ to see how everything works with (hopefully) a bunch of people on there.  There are several great apps that we can use together - maybe we can use some of the most productive ones like the doodle and graphing apps before we find all the games on there :D

A link to get some ideas about apps you might want to use to network with fellow students on Hangouts is here: http://hangoutapps.com/

To make a Google+ account, just sign in with a google username and password, and click your name with the "+" in front of it in the top left corner.  If you don't have a Google account, I highly recommend one; they have every single business and sharing tool you'll ever need.  Once you've edited a group document together live online with chat and video open, multicolored cursors blinking everywhere, you'll fall in love with it.

Finally, here's three articles for discussion today.  If anyone wants to start a discussion, rant, or comment, leave it in the comment box.

See you guys tonight.
