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

[![Image][1] ][2]

Google has been on another one of its Google+ [feature][3] [addition][4] [streaks][5] lately, and it's so eager to please that it's spoiling other features early. More than a few people visiting [Google Calendar][6] 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][7] through to grandmothers knitting scarves can use Google+ to coalesce.
