Minnov8 Gang 211 – Everything Looks Like a Nail

April 5, 2013 By Steve Borsch

Facebook Home debuted this week. Steve believes that its debut is about how Facebook sees the world as “people-centric”—and that means, “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail)—but Tim is certain it will be a winner (on Android). What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Hosts: Steve Borsch and Tim Elliott (Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson are off this week).
Music: Easy Job from The Dead Rocks. From the podsafe Music Alley.
