White House launches official Google+ page

The White House has launched an official Google+ page, according to PC Magazine.

"Welcome to the White House on Google+!" reads the first post. "Here you'll find news from the blog, behind-the-scenes photos and videos, plus chances to engage with administration officials. One feature we're really excited about are Hangouts. On our Google+ page, we'll host regular White House Hangouts with administration officials on topics ranging from the economy to technology."

President Obama has his own Google+ profile, Twitter account, Facebook page and Flickr photo stream.

Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama joined Twitter, several months after the White House signed up for Foursquare and Obama started an Instagram account.
