Facebook Phone “Buffy” – The Next Major App Store?

by Dan on November 29, 2011

Yesterday Mobile Marketer put up a nice article on the Facebook phone which featured quite a bit of my commentary/opinion on the device.

So I’m under no delusions of my blog looking anything like… a well-designed blog.  Thank God for Thesis, at least their default template looks fairly respectable, but as an Internet professional, I really need something that looks better.
