Now...on to the good stuff. David Beckham is an early adopter of Google+ and stopped by this morning for an interview and his first Google+ Hangout . He talked about all sorts of things including his decision to sign with the LA Galaxy for another 2 years, what it was like to go to the Royal Wedding, his new underwear line, and his family. My favorite part of the interview was seeing his face light up when he talked about his daughter and what it's like to have a little girl versus the boys. He's definitely a family man.
I must say he looks as amazing in person as he does on TV and in the ads. He's the perfect mix of clean cut (nicely dressed in a suit) and bad boy (morning beard and tattoos peaking out from his left jacket sleeve). The interview itself was exciting, but even more exciting was the fact that the Hangout after the interview was held 4 office (50 ft) away from mine...SO CLOSE!
Needless to say, working at Google continues to be an amazing experience for so many reasons. I heart Google :) Below are my fav pics but if you want to see my whole album you can check them out here.

More details about Google+:
The best way for me to explain Google+ is a cross between Facebook, Twitter, blogs...but different ;). You can follow people you find interesting (eg. David Beckham) and share info with people you care about (eg. family, friends). It allows you to quickly and easily share information (thoughts, pics, articles) in a customized and personal way. Here is a great "Getting Started" guide. My favorite features:
- Circles: Put the people you know into Circles that make sense for you (coworker, family, book club). When you go to post something, you select which circle(s) to share it with.
- Hangouts: Group video chat (for free). I haven't had the opportunity to have many hangouts yet, but if you end up joining Google+ and want to "hangout" just let me know :)
