Go ahead and lambast me for this post, it isn't specific to Asterisk, but:
G+ has only been open at all for a week and I already am chatting with
over 200 people who are into VoIP, Asterisk and all the rest of the
stuff we here care about. If you don't care or are anti-social, fine.
But you owe it to yourself to check it, because a lot of cool VoIP
people are there and after all, Google themselves are doing some
great stuff with VoIP, XMPP and video, and steadily moving towards
open source. Come drink the Kool-Aid!
Can you suggest a good way of finding/following appropriate
VoIP/Asterisk people once on Google+? How do you then group them? Just
in a Circle, or some other mechanism?
I've just created a "VoIPy" circle - So I can then invite people I know
into the circle by email address, and/or looking at someone else's
circles and seing if they have something relevant in their summary tag and
adding them into your own circle... (Or using their people search -
e.g. for 'randulo' :)
You can have people in more than one circle. Right now, it's a bit like a
media-rich version of twitter with excellent filtering (the circles). I
don't have camera/microphone/speakers on my PC, (got real desk SIP
phones!) so haven't tried the audio/video chat yet, but the typing
"instant messaging" type chat works just fine.
I think Google are still slowly gating people into + though. I did have
some invites, but seem to have used them all up now (google didn't tell me
how many, the "invite" button just went away after a while!)
I'd love to see SIP integration into it, so I can use my existing SIP toys
with it.
