I (and others) have mentioned this in comments to Vic Guntotra, but what Hangouts really need is an "audience" feature. 10 people participating is great, but image the things you can do if you have 10 direct participants and hundreds of viewers via some sort of YouTube integration. Now that I see this, I'd like you guys to imagine Hangouts with audiences and Google's payments system integrated. Experts (developers, chefs, tutors, whatevers) can charge small amounts for participants and free for viewers. I think part of the reason geeks like me (and HN, I think) are excited about G+ is because it really does have a ton of potential. I'd love to see the above implemented.
