Although Google+ is still a very young platform, it is already being used in innovative ways. Lee Allison, who is a technology consultant by trade, is utilizing the Google Hangouts feature on G+ to host a cooking show called Google+ Cooking School. He told WebProNews that he has always been passionate about cooking with people instead of for people and that Google Hangouts created the perfect outlet for making this possible.

The show has gotten such a positive response that he is expanding it into a full-time career. After the show takes place on G+, the videos will appear on The Social Skillet. These videos will always remain free, but Allison is also holding exclusive skills classes with costs starting at $20 per lesson in order to help fund the venture.
