Prepare for Genealogy Glogging Sometime Later This Year or in 2014

Google-Glass-user
Google Glass is to be introduced to the public later this year or in 2014. One of the uses you can count on will be Glogging – the use of Goodle Glass to blog, or vlog, as the case may be. Google Glass is integrated with Google+, and video footage, and/or images taken using it will be automatically added to one’s private Google+ photo section. The user can then choose to share the media or post to sites like Twitter and Facebook. From what I understand, the user will also be able to embed the video or image into a blog post.

One thing that looks like fun, but is also frought will lack-of-editing danger for the glogger, is the ability to launch an instant Google+ Hangout directly from Google Glass. The Glogger will be able to share what they’re seeing as it happens.

There are all kinds of applications here for genealogists. I will probably tend to use Glass for edited Glogging, but you never know. It looks like fun.
