Thanks Mauricio for the summary. I somehow had a bit different, more interactive, picture on my mind when I thought about hangouts on air. With yesterday's testing and some thinking that probably doesn't really make so much sense, at least if you have a *large* audience (which we typically will not have, I guess).
Anyhow, I still think this is a good tool. The somewhat reduced interactivity also has an advantage: it removes some of the TZ restrictions. That means that I can probably record hangouts in time frames that are quite unfriendly for zones other than CET. Also, I probably do not need to announce them way in advance, which reduces my scheduling problems. I'll now look into topics that could be used for some real starter hangouts. Thanks everyone. I keep you posted. Feedback is always welcome.
