Just a reminder that the women of Buzztouch will be having a google +(plus) hangout tonight! If you wish to join the link is below. Im pretty sure that it is @ 7 for pacific and @ 10 for the eastern, but be sure to check the link to make sure. Also don't think that since it is women of Buzztouch that guys aren't allowed to join, i know that David is going and lot of other guys! Don't miss out! https://plus.google.com/events/cm0u7qiurqu9f7vj2cfq4f1t83c?enfplm -Jack

LOL Jack....Everyone is allowed I was just going to post this. You are a kick. Thank you! This is a great venue to experiment with google plus and see all of the cool functions. I am hoping to get the ball rolling so we can several buzztouch groups on google plus. Thinking of town specific too! Susan, Andrea, & I chose "the woman of buzztouch purely because we connected" But honestly everyone is invited! David will be on including myself and Susan as hosts. See everyone there! Sheri https://plus.google.com/events/cm0u7qiurqu9f7vj2cfq4f1t83c?enfplm 7pm PDT

I'm scheduled to do an interview around that time. But since I will have the studio all up and running, would you be ok with me popping and and perhaps the "Women in Buzztouch" can say hello to the buzzcast listeners?

So, 9pm central, right? :)

@Alfrea That's correct! @Stobe if I can figure it out I would love to have you! Make sure you guys have a google plus account and download the plug in!

I'll be there! Look for the kid that looks like a kid, that's me. David https://buzztouchmods.com

I'm thinking my internet dropped me out, I tried re-joining and received: "You can't join this hangout because one of the participants has blocked you. Why not start your own hangout instead?" :-( David https://buzztouchmods.com

Burn! :) I think when you dropped out, your audio hung for a little bit and it was over-riding David. I think you were "blocked" so the bad audio would be blocked.

And thanks to all for letting me crash the party for a little bit. I was able to hang for a while, and got a good interview with a fellow BT-er afterwards. So it was a great night for me.

@stobe Yup yup that's what I figured, horrible microphone, might need to stick to the phone call meetings for now! Was great hearing david speak and hearing the others speak and discuss! I love that I was able to put faces to the names around here, a great fresh hit in the head that were all just people. Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

@Mr. David DUDE I am so sorry...I am a total newbie! Sorry! I blocked you by mistake....there was a big red block there for ever.....totally by mistake. Dang it! @Stobe not a crash was open to everyone! Totally welcome anytime! Just to let you guys know we had a bit of android improve lesson and was able use my camtasia and record. I am editing now and will put it up in youtube. Thank you for helping us test this. I really enjoyed google hangout and will be using it for teaching and connecting. Go get some sleep David! :) Night Sheri

Great to meet you all on the Hangout :)) A bit intimidated by all you pro's but I am sure I will get there eventually. Ran out of time to discuss, but I am interested to discuss further ways to make Newbies like me feel welcome and to continue to learn about BT, and possibly Newbie Hangouts or Forum topics. I personally would like to have a Mentor styled point of contact that I could ask stupid questions and not feel like I am wasteing forum space etc. Regards Kristen

Oh Kristen...you are welcome.. You are not wasting time or space we all are on the same level just remember that ok? Google Hangouts are a great way to do some training. Look for more in the future! take care and have a great night (day) thanks for joining us! Sheri

Great ideas, Kristen. I know David is "all ears" about this topic right now as he related to us. -------------- And a little tip about the Hangout client that I seemed to stumble on is that if you click on one of the video feeds at the bottom, you'll focus your video on them (and you get a blue box around that user). To allow the audio to steer the video switching again, just click that same user again to remove the blue box.

Thanks Guys, lol it is mid day here, so while you are all sleeping I get to troll the forum and post questions etc... Wanted to ask about the 3rd D - Distribution. I have a number of what you can call local app ideas, apps that will be only relevant to a select few, like (the plumber) that Dave was talking about. I was under the impression that everything had to be distributed via the app store, is that correct? Some of comments in the talk today seems to say otherwise, if so GREAT, where can I find out more about distributing "locally". Lastly, another thing I was thinking about that one of you pro's could do, I think GoNorthWest in kind of doing it. Is a business model project template if that makes sense. Like the 4 D's, firstly it is a common project flow of what you do first second, third etc, Like developing the scope and so on. Then creating good templates of business documents to make sure we systematically have our business project for that relevant app all in line and the outcome is clear to everyone involved. This will help us look profeesional and deliver the goods to the customer. Where I was actually thinking about GoNorthWest is one document that Newbies can use to actually get an app from BT on the app store, starting at getting an developer licence, testing the app on xcode, then a device then a device OTA, adjusting any setting on BT prior to submitting, etc etc. - This stems from the interesting numbers Dave gave in one of his interviews on BuzzCast, I was suprised by what can be called a conversion rate of Users and apps in BT to apps on the app store, it seemd low, I believe BT checks the box of getting an App done, but then after that, getting the app out there seems to be a lot harder. Anyway, enough rambling from me. Regards

@Kaybee Thanks for the feedback and ideas. Here is a forum post where David mention's the "Four D's" http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=88500D649F7B107777BE964&fid=F20BFC687F9577D1949F487&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1%22%20target=%22_blank%22%20rel=%22nofollow%22%3Ehttp://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=88500D649F7B107777BE964&fid=F20BFC687F9577D1949F487&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1 With regard of Distribution: You do not necessarily have to have iphone apps up and running through the itunes market You can have the provisional profile just through clients. This is something I am only touch on and researching on myself. The beauty of buzztouch. "The open innovation concept" <hint @stobe awesome podcast idea> I think you missed that part of the talk. I encourage you to research it. I believe it will give a better insight of the company vision. I hear what you are saying and I totally agree that for newbies it's a bit difficult to get around buzztouch learning. I think we are all trying to work together in helping solve that problem. Perhaps I may offer that you start making a file of things you learn and then type out a quick tutorial in .pdf format and share with people in the forum. We all come with different skills set and what you have learned today...is more than what the person who just joined yesterday. Pay it forward ;) It was so glad to connect have a great rest of the day. Night Sheri

@Stobe nice tip on google hangout! AWESOME!

Ah dang it! I totally forgot this was tonight, and 9 yr old son won some tickets to a baseball game and invited me! We had a great time...sounds like you did as well! Next time I'll be there for sure! Mark

i am the only one there lol let us know wen it will star thanks

@Mark hey father son moments are memory makers not to be missed! I recorded some of convo in camtasia....still waiting for it to format will load it up in youtube and post as soon as its done Sheri

i am lost this already happen

sorry double post

Looks like I missed out. The lesson to be learned here is always read the entire post when you open a thread. I read "the women of Buzztouch will be having a google +(plus) hangout tonight!" and clicked the back button. didn't know guys were invited :P

@Sheri - I hear ya! Bonding moments with the kids trump all else. What made it even more special is that when he won the tickets, he had a choice between the baseball game, and Disney on Ice, which he could have taken his mom or sister to. So I feel honored to have been chosen! It was a good night.

Aw. So sweet!!! Embarrass that....they grow up so fast!!!!

Four Parts But her is a recording of the Hangout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqyWoXHWJA4&list=PL3RKOSx9FVQ0thaoj7cDykurRYrbhwL5r&feature=plcp

Now I can't sleep. The Buzztouch hangout is racing through my mind. :D I feel soooooooooo inspired....I just wish it wasn't 1:30am on a work night. :-) I can't wait for the next hangout. See y'all soon. :)

@Alfrea..... So bummed that you were not able to connect more ;( . Next time will be girlie girl time! We can walk through for self-hosting and one on one stuff more. Love the venue though. I am going to do more of these! Tonight was more of a walk through of what google hangouts can do! Too bad couldn't get the live stream going and chat feature. Next time! Get some rest girl! I am just waiting for part 2 to format and I am off to bed myself! (((Hugs))) Sheri

Was it recorded? Missed it :( What about a gotowebinar next time? :)

@Sheri (and @SusanMetoxen) - I think Google worked awesome, thanks a zillion for doing this. @Elaine - HEY, stoked to see your name! @Andrea - Inspired. From "wedding app" to app master, too cool. It'll get easier, it really will. @GoNorthWest - You SO missed out! Hope you got a foul ball at the game? @Absentia - Men are rude sometimes, we crashed the thing! Coding gals rule, guys are welcome. @Stobe - Hope the interview went well, sounds like you were multi-tasking, AGAIN! @MrDavid - Did you sleep yet? 48 hours, OMG, you're sounding like me. Take it from an old guy, it's NOT worth it. Eat, Sleep, Study (school is important) THEN buzztouch. LOL @Kaybee - Everyone is new at something. You're in the steep part of the learning curve but it will get easier. Stoked (and so is everyone else) to see you participating. No fear, Over the Air Distribution is closer than you think. It's a matter of understanding the differences between Android, Apple, and how the devices load apps. :60 minutes worth of reading online maybe? @App Master - 28 posts in 12 hours to the thread you started. It must be "women" in the title? So laughing. I enjoyed the gang last night and look forward to doing it again. My neighbors were laughing this morning and asked "why were you walking down the street with your laptop last night talking to the screen, dont' you work enough!" Look for a new Forum in the list titled "Hangouts" - lets start using that to list times, dates, who's attending, etc. Out.

LOL! I want you to get a Segway, Mifi Card, and a Macbook. Start scootin' down the street in a Hangout session, and try to talk your way out of a ticket. Funny how different our coasts are. Here, you can smoke indoors, as long as its not weed. (Kinda the opposite of your coast).

@sheri no problem! thanks for the PM - responded :-) @david, you got it, won't happen again! Through, I should be eating too? I knew I was missing something.. @Stobe, we have a guy riding around my campus with a segway (some professor) poor guy gets "trashed" on for it all the time! David https://buzztouchmods.com
