Ask HN: What kind of Google Hangouts could we have?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4061608I like the idea adding short bursts of social interaction to my day. Hangouts is a nice tool for that, but for the hacker crowd what sort of hangout would work the best?
Just my random idea. How about a weekly roll call. Just a very short chat where each participant says what they got done last week and what they're thinking of doing next week.Hopefully the people would gradually get to know each other well enough such that they could not only provide empathy, but could also offer possible solutions to the problems the participants are having.
Another idea would be to have a piece of code from each participant sent to all else. Then in the hangout you criticize the code. Kind of like a code review, but for people who are not in teams.
I want inject some more social to my life, so it you have a great idea of how to do that then do tell.
