A recent addition to the Google+ platform is Communities. This latest feature integrates with other features such as Google+ Hangouts to allow you to gather members in either public or private communities to hold discussions.
Google’s official blog touts the new Google+ Communities as a great opportunity for its users to reconnect with loved ones during the holiday season. Google+ aims to make these new communities as accessible for sharing as communities in real life are, allowing people of all interests to get together and discuss the things they are passionate about. Communities will allow users to not only participate in real time hangouts, but also share other items that people can see and comment on later – whether it is a link, a text update, or a photo.
