President Obama to answer questions via a live Google+ Hangout



The president will use the group video chat tool to field questions on Monday, January 30
Just days after the White House joined Google+, President Obama has announced that he'll be putting one of the social network's most unique features to good use. In Google+, members of the social network can participate in group video chats using the site's aptly named Hangouts feature. As a follow-up to Tuesday's 2012 State of the Union address, Obama has invited users to submit questions on its official YouTube page for the Hangout, will take place on Monday, January 30.
As another video product under Google's wing, Hangouts tie in closely with YouTube. In a Hangout, up to ten users can chat seamlessly, including the user who convenes the Hangout — in this case, Obama himself. Hangouts feature a few cool tricks, like the ability to automatically highlight the G+ user who is speaking at any given moment and slick integration with YouTube that lets all ten users simultaneously watch a video on YouTube, right in the chat window itself.
If you're interested in getting heard — or being one of the nine attendees featured in the group video chat — submit your best questions as we gear up for tomorrow's State of the Union address, which you can watch live online, tomorrow at 9 p.m. Eastern.
