Google+ Events leaks out through Google Calendar, will let your knitting circle schedule a Hangout

Google has been on another one of its Google+ feature addition streaks lately, and it’s so eager to please that it’s spoiling other features early. More than a few people visiting Google Calendar have been given an introduction to “Events in Google+” in recent hours despite the extra component (and its splash page) being absent. From what we know, Events will provide the obvious Facebook-like option to create and track events among Google+ circles, but it will also let organizers slot in a Hangout video chat in advance as well as pool together photos and videos associated with an event. The Google+ app for Android has even been showing an empty button that’s speculated to be a dedicated Events section. Google hasn’t sent any official word as to when Events will go live, although we suspect it won’t be long before everyone from photographers through to grandmothers knitting scarves can use Google+ to coalesce.
