   Watch Joe Kissell and Adam Engst in TidBITS Presents: Adieu MobileMe

   Adam C. Engst

   Our first [1]TidBITS Presents event on 16 June 2012 was a success, with
   over 200 people joining Joe Kissell and me live via Google+ Hangouts On
   Air. Joe did a stellar job with his presentation, as I knew he would,
   and the attendees contributed lots of great questions and comments via
   Google+ and Twitter (where we congregated using the #tbpresents
   hashtag).

   Part of the attraction of Google+ Hangouts On Air is that the video is
   automatically recorded to YouTube (and our buddy Mike T. Rose of TUAW
   told us it was even live on YouTube during the event). So, even if you
   couldn't make the live presentation, if you want to learn about your
   transition options before MobileMe sunsets on 30 June 2012, you can
   [2]watch TidBITS Presents: Adieu MobileMe on YouTube at your leisure.
   The added beauty of having it on YouTube is that you can also watch on
   an iPad in a comfy chair, on the big screen connected to an Apple TV,
   or while you're killing time on an iPhone or iPod touch.

   Please do leave us comments (at the bottom of this article, in [3]the
   Google+ post, or [4]on YouTube) about both the content of the
   presentation and (if you watched it live) your technical experience,
   since we heard from some people during the event that the video was
   either nonexistent or very choppy. We're still trying to determine just
   how well Hangouts On Air works for viewers.

   Thanks for watching, and we hope you find the content useful!

   Oh, one last thing. Joe mentions a number of services and products and
   articles in the presentation ' here's a list so you don't have to hunt
