Wrapup on the Small Business Blog (I dropped some Q&A in the post itself, in case you don't have time to watch the whole video):

Do you guys use other Google products? We did this as part of a series of Help Desk Hangouts — which we host every Wednesday at 11am PT on the Google+ Your Business page — during which we cover Google products that can help you with your business. I'm always looking for ideas for these Hangouts, so let me know if you any topic suggestions (looking for suggestions beyond Google Places).
