Navigate 1 - Synchronous Vendor Market

Using the application, what did you experience using the synchronous learning tool? Was the task easy? Challenging? Did the process present problems?

A review of Google Hangouts is provided below.
Google Hangouts was extremely user friendly.  This was an easy task because experimenting with the software only enhance my knowledge.  There were not any major risk taken by simply pushing a button to determine it's function.  There was no real challenge, although it would be nice if there was an option to stop a text being sent in error.  Google hangout is more effective for one and one conversation.  The software also connects with google voice making it a two in one operational system.
