Hangouts on the top-right for chatting with people in real-time. It's IIRC not using Jabber or any open protocol, so you have to stick with the official google-apps or that webinterface.
G+ is otherwise just using Circles (=Collection of People) for everything. A community is a Circle where everyone can join when he wants and there are private cicles for you where you can put people into. If you send any message you can specify which circles are able to read that message (as in "Family, WeirdoPeople, Xyz") and everyone that is in one of those Circles sees it. There is a elementary-community that is a good start. - Raphael 2014-03-26 17:47 GMT+01:00 Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff <ser...@elementaryos.org>: > Okay, where can I find an intro to 2014?
