Lately, as I’ve been learning Google+, I am continually reading posts and visiting links about how Google and its family of products and features can help you grow your audience or your business; what I haven’t seen much of is how they can be geared towards families.  I know Google used to have Google Apps that were offered for free for small organizations and many families jumped on board, but I’m not talking about that.

What I’m referring to is simply using Google products for family oriented purposes.  Below, I list 6 of Google’s features that I have personally used with my family.

1. Hangouts

I recently wrote about my first Google+ Hangout experience that I had with my brother who I don’t get to see very often...

I’m still relatively new to using Google+, but after having read “What the Plus” by Guy Kawasaki, I decided Google+ would be worth another look.  Since I finished the book a couple of weeks ago, I have become an avid believer of Google+ and the power behind it; one of the powerful features, that I believe to be of great personal value, is Hangouts.

Like many people, I have family spread across the country which makes it difficult to see each other on a regular basis; this is where hangouts can come to the rescue...
