Day 8 of my #30DaysofThankYou Challenge: Google Hangouts on Air (HOA)
As I mentioned on Saturday, (Day 6's Thank You - http://goo.gl/ckIjrT), I started my journey here on Google+ trying to get a better understanding of What is a Hangout? which lead me to watching my first business-related Google's Hangouts on Air Eric Enge's The Digital Marketing Excellence Show - Episode 47: How to Build Awesome Relationships in Social Media with Peg Fitzpatrick as the guest  (http://goo.gl/JZrjNT). I've been hooked ever since! 

What's so cool about HOAs?
 I see watching HOAs like having a front seat at the hottest conference or taking a university course.  it's a great relationship /networking building forum. I've "met" many interesting people while the HOA is live in the comment stream because we have the opportunity as the audience to ask questions, provide our thoughts/feedback and to talk amongst ourselves all while the HOA is being broadcast live.

I admit it - I have an HOA Addiction!
During the week, I watch approximately 10 HOAs, topics ranging within social media and other interests, and try to actively participate in each of them (Great Tip: Circle these folks if they aren't in your circles already.): 

-  Small Business Entrepreneurship Ande Lyons 
-  Content Marketing Ryan Hanley 
-  Relationship Marketing /Copywriting /Blogging Wade Harman 
-  Google+ for business (including Facebook and LinkedIn) and Social Media Marketing hints and tips! martin shervington's Plus Your Business! Show and Community
-  Pinterest - Jeff Sieh 
-  Relationship /Human Development /Spirituality PARADISO INTEGRALE The Power of Relationship 
- All things related to Marketing / including SEO  James Dearsley 
- Latest Google+ news, tips and tricks mixed with societal commentary Ray Hiltz 
- Edutainment Mia Voss (At first I didn't get the tiara-thing, but now it's endearing and I look forward to watching it move above Mia's head besides Mia and her guests.)
- Online marketing with interesting guests  Zara Altair 
- No nonsense, thought provoking interviewers with always fascinating guests Yifat Cohen and Jason T. Wiser 
- Any HOA Show that has Jay Baer Peg Fitzpatrick or Guy Kawasaki as their guests

Thank you, Google, for creating this awesome free Hangouts on Air tool for both business and personal use. You have given me an opportunity to learn from the comfort of my office from experts in their field on any subject and a sense of belonging to a community of like-minded people like never before.

Do you watch HOAs? Have any recommendations?
