President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington on Jan. 24.

President Barack Obama does his first Google+ "Hangout" Monday at 2:30 PT/5:30 ET, and while questions for the live-streamed interview are now closed ? more than 228,000 people submitted questions ? you can still watch it online.

Google+, the social network that's trying to take on Facebook, limits Hangout participants to 10, but you can still watch and listen to the "Post-State of the Union conversation" on both the White House's Google+ page and on its YouTube channel. There's also the White House's regular website for watching the session, expected to go for 45 minutes.

Six regular folks will be among the 10 participants chosen by Google to participate in the Hangout.

The presidential digital town hall may be the first for Google's social network, but not for others. The president has also done similar events on Facebook and Twitter.

Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president, engineering, said on his own Google+ page that the "team is nervous tonight. A lot of unusual circumstances that make this broadcast even more challenging. (You just don't walk into the West Wing of the The White House and set up computer equipment!)"
