Facetime Rocks...Or Does It?

This past weekend, while one half of the Token Sports Executive Board was in Austin (myself), I got to try out the new IPhone. My friend and employer at AT&T gave me a sneak preview into a new feature called Facetime. It comes built in with the new phone, and 2 cameras make it possible for live video phone convos:
People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With the tap of a button, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.
Fun? In most circumstances, yes, but think about when Facetime would not be good option to use:
-Calling out of work with a "bad cold."
-Talking to a girl of interest...pretty much anytime, unless she's actually able to put up with your morning hangover face.
-When you accidentally push Facetime on your phone and having your friend looking at all your disgusting ear hairs and ear wax.

Bottom line, Facetime is amazing technology, but should used with caution. Also, I would try not to facetime and drink at the same time!
