About

Fake Google Hangouts are phony posts on the Google+ social networking service that mimic the stream notifications created after someone has completed a "Hangout" group video chat session.

Origin

Director of YouTube's Next Lab, Timothy Shey, created the first fake Hangout with a post[1] that read "Tim Shey is not hanging out with you right now" on July 7th, 2011.
