Like the title states, what's your thoughts on google hangouts?

I get invited to so many now and I've yet to watch one and think that they're entertainment

Four hours long, really lol
 
Heard of it... Even have it loaded on the iPad.... And .... One day when I'm really really bored ... And can't find my industrial man strength toenail clippers , plus I've run out of any other thought process or need to do something.... I might even open the bloody thing! :p:cool:
 
I have been sent so many fking requests and ignored them all, I have no time nor inclination in participating at all.
I just find the whole thing annoying.
 
I've not been asked to any actually .... Looks like my 'people person' attitude is finally paying off!!

But yeah ... I can't see it being a hoot.... I'd rather go for a coffee run with my mates when we get a chance
 
I'm sure they're fun to be involved in, but I find that even a 5 minute phone conversation is too long. Plus I'm not the most gregarious person with people that I don't know very well. So I probably wouldn't add much to the conversation. I've skipped through a few though.
 
I have watched a few live in the past, but since they have started, it always seems to be the same people answering the same questions over and over again. I have seen a couple of NT8's when he was doing them and have watched a few of Bran770whatever's. Bran's are hard to watch due to the fact that either her internet or system sucks. Her video stream is really laggy and it get's painful to watch. NT8's gets the same way when more than 5 people are in the hangout.

Plus, it seems, there are still several motovloggers that either "don't have a webcam or really fucking enjoy wearing their helmets while sitting in a chair in their living room." To me that pretty much defeats the point of being in front of a camera on a video chat.

I am sure the live streams have their place and are fun at times to be a part of, but from the outside looking in, I find it difficult putting 1-4 hours into sitting down and investing that much time into watching the same babble over and over. But to each their own I guess.

retro .... :eek: ...

oh noooo!! .. dont you go being all retro!! .. it starts all innocent enough... then BAM!!! .. you looking through the op-shops for clothes like this!! .. bellbottoms are only just cool if you in the navy!! ... just!!

 
Who has the time? I can't hardly find the time to get on this forum let alone waste 4 hrs on a hangout. Probably wouldn't do it if I found the time though either.
 
I find hangouts fairly dry. The most I can do in terms of listening/watching people talk about off-topic bikes is podcasts like The Wheelnerds. Not to mention podcasts are a fair bit shorter.
 
Dandolittle its you internet connection! - its annoying when SOMEONE can't get in a text's and call people in the hangout to let him in...

Yeah they can be long but no one expects you to watch them all, the participation counts, even 20 minutes! and if you know the people in hangout and/or you have something to say about the topic of the discussion hours will fly ;)

Ohhhh hang on .... Hangouts ... Yeah I've done that loads of times .... Rang a few mates and we rode and grabbed a coffee and 'hung out' for awhile .... The mates rang me and we rode down the coast so we could hangout and grab a burger and a coke or milkshake .... I've been randomly riding around and spotted a mate in a car or on a bike ... So we stopped and had a ciggie and 'hung out' at the shops for 20 mins ....

Oh and a few times I forgot to do the zip up on my pants .... On 'commando' days too!! .. So I hung out for a few steps ....


I'm a expert hangouter!!
