- ebiester 15y agoWhy not? Step 1: G+ is integrated into Google Apps for Business. Every business account is tied to a G+ account. Step 2: Departments use it for communication. The CEO uses it for top-down communication. It's no more or no less secure than email as it is, but it gives a better way to manage what was once email groups. Step 3: Instead of maintaining a Skype address book and an email address book, it's all bundled into one. Conference calls are simple to manage, and how far away is screen sharing and presentation features? G+ could, if Google were inclined, become a Skype killer, and a Lotus Notes killer, and finally become an Outlook killer. Now, I'm not saying that Google has the vision, or that Google has it in their DNA, but it is possible.
- bradleyland 15y agoWe're a Google Apps customer and I'm chomping at the bits to get my hands on these new collaborative meeting features. We're spread out over two states and three cities. We live and die by Skype, but outside of screen sharing, Skype's collaborative features are pretty weak. This looks really powerful.
