It's word mouth now, but I think there will be discovery mechanism soon.

Once you found me, you should have been able to find the post where
I've put names of most of the VoIP USers COnference people. More then
added their own.

>> You can have people in more than one circle. Right now, it's a bit like a media-rich version of twitter with excellent filtering (the circles). I don't have camera/microphone/speakers on my PC, (got real desk SIP phones!) so haven't tried the audio/video chat yet, but the typing "instant messaging" type chat works just fine.

You have to try the Hangou because that's an amazing feature and it's
the one I want to see with SIP interface so we can bridge to a SIP
conference.

That would be my wish, too.

In the end, it is a process of finding the right people. You can see
all public posts in the stream. However if there were 20 people say,
from this list in my "Asterisk" Circle talking aout SIP integration,
we'd keep it private, NOT to hide, but to not bore our other friends
in "Basket weaving" Circle.

I encourage anyone who's the + and interested to look me up. I can
easily blast out more names as suggestions.
