HANGOUT WITH THE MUPPETS ON GOOGLE+

Google+ Hangouts are back and the session is only on an interesting track. This time one would see the Muppets tickling your funny bone. The search engine giant has released an ad, featuring the Muppets, which was rolled out last week. The ad had a defined motto, which was detailed in the scenario. It read as, “famously good friends get together in a Google+ Hangout, to rock out and blow off steam.” Interestingly, the tune use was even a catchy one, noting that the Muppets were having a role over the screen. The ad makers used the tune of David Bowie’s classic hit, “Under Pressure.”

The ad was basically hinting at those, who have not yet made use of the Hangouts. Charlie White of Mashable stated that hint as, ‘Have you tried Google+ Hangouts? Apparently, the Muppets have, and Google wants you to know about it.’

With this ad, Google has just extended its relationship with the Muppets, or rather Jim Henson, the Muppets creator. Google had a doodle dedicated to the Muppets creator, noting his 75th birthday.

Google’s efforts can be seen and the number of ways it is opting for, to promote Google+. At times, one might feel that the search engine giant is overdoing its efforts, which can lead Google+ to a negative platform. This is because Google Plus is new to people and Google should give them considerable time to adjust to its social networking site. Facebook is definitely a hot favorite and using rather cheap tricks to get users active on Google+ can go against Google+.

However, one still has to agree on a point that Google is trying to bank on every such efforts from its end, wherein it holds superiority, as compared to other social networking sites. Hangouts, expectedly is its biggest bet, along with Circles to earn the confidence and activeness of users.

Coming back to the Muppets, Google has proved yet another point with the help of Hangouts. Till now, most of its efforts were directed to the business benefits one can reap out of this feature of Google+. An instance for the same was when recently a Bollywood veterans Farhan Akhtar and Rithesh Sidhwani teamed up with the popular actor, Shah Rukh Khan, for a Hangout session with their fans, it turned out to be a great success for the team, as they interacted with their fans restrictively. That was a successful move and like the same, a number of other promotions have been carried out with the help of Google+ Hangouts.

But with this ad, Google extends the reach and urges users to note down a number of benefits one can reap out of it, which can be made use of on an everyday basis, may it be for friends or family.

The ad created by the search engine giant’s team is posted below:
