HOA Examples
• National Geographic used Google+ Hangouts to celebrate its 125th anniversary by hosting famous explorers on a 90-minute Hangout.[ii] Subscribers and others were encouraged to submit questions in advance or during the Hangout via posts on YouTube, Google+, Twitter (all using a designated hashtag, #NatGeo125), Facebook, or on the magazine’s blog. This resulted in 150,000 new followers.

• In February 2013, Youth and Tech Health hosted the hangout “mHealth for Youth: Text Messaging Beyond the Basics” to promote their sixth annual conference on Youth+Tech+Health. Panelists virtually discussed using text messaging services to reach their organizations’ goals. The use of Twitter was highly promoted during the Hangout so participants could comment and ask questions, showing the benefits of engaging audiences across social media platforms. [iv]

• CDC Google+ Hangouts On Air - CDC's Director, Dr. Tom Frieden joined Men's Health Editor-in-Chief Bill Phillips for an innovative live video conference, via Google Hangout, kicking off Men's Health Week, and sharing the triumphs and challenges of living a healthy lifestyle. At one point, Phillips asked Dr. Frieden a series of questions about the director's health habits, such as what physical activities he engages in, what healthy foods he eats, and what healthy habits he has incorporated into his lifestyle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MPbfeSWvmg
