Google Plus Hangouts get integration with third party apps!

Google has announced a major update to their Hangouts platform. The service has been integrated with a bunch of third party apps.

Google said:

Today we’re introducing a starter set of featured apps, and enabling developers to share any hangout app with the entire Google+ community!

Now when you start a hangout, you’ll notice a new “Apps” button at the top of your screen. Once inside you’ll see both Featured and Recent hangout apps.

Example apps:

1) +Aces Hangout, for playing poker with friends, face-to-face-to-face
2) Clubhouse Challenge by +Bravo, for testing your pop culture IQ against other teams
3) +Cacoo, for wire-framing, mind-mapping and diagramming with others
4) Google Effects, for trying on headwear, eyewear or facial hair
5) +Scoot & Doodle, for drawing and coloring with the people you care about
6) +SlideShare, for co-viewing presentations, docs and videos
