Google+ astronomy weekly roundup video now online

By Phil Plait | January 6, 2012 9:00 am

Yesterday, I was in a live video chat session with several other scientists and science journalists. I wrote up the details of it yesterday, and it went pretty well! We had a lot of fun talking about the new GRAIL Moon mission, the fiery future return of Phobos-Grunt, 2012, and of course President Obama’s purported teleportation trip to Mars many years ago.

Wait, what?

Well, if you wanna know more, now you can: the video’s online.

The plan is to do these every week on Thursdays, and have a rotating cast of characters over time. I hope you like it. And I strongly suggest people join up over at Google+. I really like it there, and post quite a few things you won’t see here or on Twitter.

I am already stalking you on Google+ (I mean I have you circled).

A couple questions: Will the time be static, or will you accomodate those of us unable to join due to work? Are you on LinkedIn by any chance?

Ditto Larian’s question about the time…

Tons of followers pretty much always equates to credibility. I feel like in current times that many celebrities are judged by how many follower they have. It’s kind of sad, but true. Whether it be pinterest, twitter, or anything really.

I manage social media for a medium-sized business and I found a pretty cool company that “sells” followers. There are many websites that do this (surprisingly!) but this particular one has targeted followers too: http://www.mysocialanswer.com

PS- Just don’t tell your boss you bought the followers
