The Big G has detailed a few changes that are en route in forthcoming updates to both the Google+ desktop interface, the Android app and — with an undisclosed lag — the iOS app. You and your inner circle will soon be able to attach Hangout invitations to specific posts, so you can “upgrade the conversation from long-form to live” with a single click. The Hangouts On Air self-broadcasting feature is still in development and only available to selected celebs, but Google is about to roll it out to “hundreds more” public figures and users with large followings, while also adding features that will eventually appeal to normal people’s vanity too: including the ability to upload full-length and private recordings of your supposedly charismatic rants to your YouTube account

A native Skype app for the iPad has finally appeared, opening up your Apple slate for voice and video chatting with others on Macs, PCs or even TVs . It’s not listed as an update to the existing iOS app, but as a separate Skype for iPad download that’s only shown up in certain countries so far — at first we couldn’t find it on the US iTunes but it finally appeared after some searching. Just like Skype for iPhone , everything works over both WiFi and 3G, but one key difference is the ability to instant message during video calls.

We almost got to see what Christmas was like before Skype, and it wasn’t pleasant. Of course, VOIP and videoconferencing will never replace Grandma Pat’s pizzelles, but the technology sure does make pre-holiday planning a lot easier. For its part, Skype hasn’t gone into too much detail regarding the nature of its most recent outage (something about “mega-supernodes”), although as of this writing group video calling appears to be back and CEO Tony Bates has announced that customers will be compensated for the interruption of service with free and pay-as-you-go customers receiving credit for a free 30-minute SkypeOut call to landlines, while paid subscribers will get a free week of service
