Google+ Hangouts On Air: broadcast your conversation to the world.

Today we’re excited to launch Hangouts On Air to Google+ users worldwide. So if you have something to say—as an aspiring artist, a global celebrity, or a concerned citizen—you can now go live in front of a global audience. With just a few clicks, you’ll be able to:

Broadcast publicly. By checking “Enable Hangouts On Air,” you can broadcast your live hangout—from the Google+ stream, your YouTube channel or your website—to the entire world.
See how many viewers you’ve got. During your broadcast, you can look inside the hangout to see how many people are watching live.
Record and re-share. Once you’re off the air, we’ll upload a public recording to your YouTube channel, and to your original Google+ post. This way it’s easy to share and discuss your broadcast after it’s over.

Google Docs Gets 450+ New Fonts

According to their latest product blog post Google Docs, which is now a part of Google Drive, now has more than 450 fonts available to all users. To access all of these new fonts select “add fonts” from the bottom of the font selection menu that you’ve always used. Selecting “add fonts” will open up a new menu in which you can mix and match fonts to your heart’s content.

The fonts are in Google Drive (Doc) once you creaate a Document. Use the drop down arrow next to the default font–Arial–and the last choice is “add fonts.” You can explore to your heart’s content and add fonts to your Google Doc collection. But are these additional fonts also available in Google Sites? I checked the font drop down menu there, and did not see an “add fonts” option.
