Great idea that can be easily applied to any form of teaching and tutoring. Stand by for the influx of PhD's offering after-school tutoring as a business.

Damn it. I had this idea two weeks ago w/ my wife (who's a chef & dietitian).

I guess we'll have to compete on execution :)

Also, this is not a 'winner takes all' space. You should definitely do it.

That's absolutely true. My comment was more on the immediate mindshare issue.

My wife and i actually gave a talk at Rubyconf2010 about nutrition stuff and the engineering mindset (http://confreaks.net/videos/459-rubyconf2010-healthy-hackers ), and got some positive feedback, and got a few requests to continue discussing the subject online but my wife has been busy w/ school until this past spring unfortunately).

It's definitely good to see more food/culinary content moving online.

It would be nice if they had someone who could be assigned the "Director" role and choose which person to feature on the video.

There seems to be that there should be a better solution than Google Hangout. Anyone have any leads for a better platform for this?

My company (http://www.hotpotevents.com) is currently working on a platform to enable anyone to lead a fun, social, interactive cooking event in their home. Still early stage but we're aiming for private beta this Fall.

I (and others) have mentioned this in comments to Vic Guntotra, but what Hangouts really need is an "audience" feature. 10 people participating is great, but image the things you can do if you have 10 direct participants and hundreds of viewers via some sort of YouTube integration.

Now that I see this, I'd like you guys to imagine Hangouts with audiences and Google's payments system integrated. Experts (developers, chefs, tutors, whatevers) can charge small amounts for participants and free for viewers.

I think part of the reason geeks like me (and HN, I think) are excited about G+ is because it really does have a ton of potential. I'd love to see the above implemented.
