Joe Hewitt on Bad Hair Day at 7PM
Thursday, August 27, 2009 by Dave Winer.
Our special guest for the Bad Hair Day podcast at 7PM Pacific is Joe Hewitt the author of Facebook for the iPhone. What a great day to talk with Joe! 
You can listen live on BlogTalkRadio.
I had lunch with him yesterday in Santa Cruz. I said that if Facebook wanted to compete with Twitter they needed a vastly simpler version of Facebook. Little did I know that 24 hours later I'd be looking at it.
If you have any questions for Joe, please post them as comments here, and Marshall and I will try to get to them.
You can listen to the show live on BlogTalkRadio, and of course it will be available as a podcast from the badhair.us site.
