First Google gave us a media to share and communicate life and things with Google+, and now it has gone one-step further to fix our sub-par conversation skills with the newly launched app Us+, a Google Hangout app that analyzes speech and facial expression to improve communication. Whoa!

Artists Lauren McCarthy and Kyle McDonald launched this techni-perfectionist app, a new application that aims to make humans more personable by providing us feedback from an algorithm.

'Us+, which was launched on Monday, monitors your Google+ video chats and shoots a message as soon as it detects you blathering or being a "downer." It's free, and although it's social commentary, not a genuine startup, Us+ actually works.'

Us+ joins a growing roster of actual techo-perfectionist apps, like Google Now, Lift, Refresh and Days of Our Lives, that count on algorithms to police our behavior.

'The app is part social experiment, part critique of our readiness to be bossed around by machines -- even when it comes to something as intimate as reading emotion,' says Lauren McCarthy
