Hangout is nice, there was one Hangout some month ago…
One thing to take care: I once was on Skype for a sprint with someone.
The result is that I was like a ghost: I was not interacting with anyone
physically at the sprint (even though I was there), just with the other
person on Skype.
I really did not like the experience, at the end I was very unhappy and
for me it would have been better to stay at home. The other people around
where just a distraction and too loud, interfering wight he Skype session.
So: Virtual and In Person is *very* different, one should not mix them too
much. They can be a the same time, but being a person from the in-person meeting
collaborating with the virtual is not a fun position to be in.
