Anyone planning on using Google+ Hangout for drafting this year? (1 Viewer)

We're in year 10 our auction league and have literally had 100% attendance for 9 years. This year 3 of the 10 guys can't make it :(

IMO, Google Hangout (via Google+) is going to be great tool to connect remote drafters in. It's about as seamless as I've seen for any non enterprise, free video conferencing and handles presence (switches main viewing window to the person talking) very well.

Thoughts? Anyone else gonna do this? Different ideas/technologies that you use??

This is a good idea

For those not familiar, here's a screenshot of the interface. You can have a ton of people in one "Hangout" (unlike Skype,I think??). When it picks up sound from someone, it switches that person to the big portion of the screen. I'm excited to see how this works with our auction draft. It'll be far from perfect, but a good comprise imo
