In the latest iteration of the administrations efforts to connect to supporters via social media, President Barack Obama will take part Monday in a Google+ Hangout,” a chat room-like feature of Google+ that allows users to connect with each other via video connections.
The White House pledges the president will answer “several of the most popular questions” submitted through YouTube, while some questioners will be invited to participate in a live conversation on Google+.
The latest social media push follows a Twitter town hall the president held over the summer. To the disappointment of some, the president merely answered preselected questions from Twitter users in that forum.
This time, the presidents answers will show up on a video stream hosted by Google+ while participants can comment on his answers in real time.
