This is what actually happened
When we all went into SL we were told we needed to update our SL browsers which takes time and in Jeff’s case resulted in some DLL errors which appeared when he tried to activate his voice there. So the purpose of our meeting, Jeff showing us how he screencasts from SL, was not possible. Although Dennis Newson and I were able to talk in SL, Jeff was not audible, and he therefore couldn’t stream voice via his avatar presence into the stream he had set up from SL.
It was after midnight in Pusan where Jeff is so he decided let’s not mess with this, let’s hang out. He set up a Google+ Hangout and invited us there. Meanwhile Scott Lockman had arrived in Second Life and Robyn had appeared in the Livestream. Jeff pasted the invitation to join the Hangout in both the Livestream and SL chats, and Scott, Robyn and I made our way there. Jeff started streaming from the Hangout in the Livestream.
Which I doubt anyone was listening to, but at least it’s recorded, and could be podcast. Jeff quickly abandoned the original hangout for one with Extras, and invited us there. Here you get the ability to screenshare and integrate with Google tools; specifically presentation tools similar to PPT, a sketchpad tool which opens as a Google Doc, and a notes feature, which opens a Google Document in the Hangout. These all becomes part of your documents at Google Docs. It’s all so new and so entirely cool, we were all marveling at how much we all learn just by hanging out together 🙂

If you’re interested in Hangouts (with or without extras), we also spoke about them quite a bit on today’s EdTechWeekly.
