Jul 30, 2012 12:52 PM   Hangouts are one of the redeeming qualities of Google+, and they're about to be more widely available. Google announced that it's rolling out the video chats to Gmail. The person you're hanging with doesn't have to be a G+ user, either. You can gab with your pals from Gmail on their browser or on their iOS or Android device. But if your cohort is a Pluskateer (that's a technical term), you guys can chat with up to nine people at a time. Although, do you have nine friends who actively use Google+?

But it’s not too late to get in on the action — a pledge of $18 or more gets you one of these ChargeCards in your choice of colors. Its creators, Noah Dentzel and Adam Miller, plan to retail this handy device in September for $25.
