Google launched extras in Hangouts Wednesday, giving the Google+ tool a new look. The highlights include Screensharing, which enables users to share the visuals on their computer screen with others -- similar to Skype, for example. The tool now provides a larger video image, placing more emphasis on the live video by optimizing white space and other screen elements. Cory Bergman gives us an example of how Google+ Hangouts will change traditional broadcast TV. He refers to the content in Google+ Hangouts as "News Buoys," directing users to traditional TV.
