Best Buy Rolls Out Google Hangout for Last-Minute Shoppers

Best Buy is experimenting with Google's new Google Plus-enabled ads with a shoppable Hangout for those seeking last-minute holiday gifts.

The Hangout, which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, will be hosted by Carolyn McCarthy and feature Austin Evans, Marques Brownlee, Soldier Knows Best and Machinima, tech pundits with relatively large YouTube followings. During the course of the Hangout, a menu will appear on the right-hand side of the page. If the four discuss certain laptop models, for instance, a link will appear where viewers can click to buy the item.
