Any Recruiters using Facetime on a regular basis?

Has anyone brought this into their regular routine at their desk? I always like a name with a face- plus it always helped with my prepping of candidates for interviews. So in the past I have used Skype mostly, but dabbled with a few other video tools. I was just curious if anyone has started using Facetime on a regular basis? and if so what has been your experience thus far?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Thanks Edward! I appreciate the reply. Yes- I can see how connection issues can make it more of a hindrance that a helpful tool. Would you be willing to give it another go? I bring up Facetime specifically for the use (if needed) on the fly via iPhone. I would love to hear back from others that have given it a go......

@Tim Thank you for this question. If we were smart, we would use Facetime more often. In fact, my friends at ChaiOne, a mobile application builder, use it to connect with potential hires. I believe this technology will significantly decrease the hiring lag time, thereby stimulating the economy.

Thanks for sharing Dayna - always good to have a name and a face right? I checked out the site and it looks like they are right no top of it. I also agree that these types of advancements should really help with hiring process.
