I was looking at Justin's Blog - for those of you interested in WebRTC, it is 
now available in Chrome (at least, in dev builds).  This includes an API.  It 
looks like he moved to the WebRTC team full time.

WebRTC has its own blog too:

More on WebRTC standards:

Also:
When launched, Google+ had promise of some form of federation. I think 
there's hope for BuddyCloud/Google+/other federation (or at least some sort 
of co-operation, etc...) because of the mutual XMPP underpinnings. Recall 
some older info Justin (we poked at it before):

"we plan to publish the specifications needed to interoperate with Hangouts. 
At a high level, it's based on XMPP MUC (XEP-0045) and Jingle (XEP-0166/167)"

Announcement from last June: "We are pleased to announce that we have 
launched support for Jingle XEP-166 and XEP-167 for Google Talk calls to and 
from Gmail, iGoogle, and Orkut. We have also added the same level of support 
to libjingle (http://code.google.com/p/libjingle), which is used by many 
native clients. From this point on, it will be our primary signaling 
protocol, and the old protocol will only remain for backwards compatibility."

Food for thought.
