Jason Knight of Wesabe on FOX Business News.

Jason Knight is a profoundly nice and smart guy, and Wesabe's model resonates with me strongly. It's a good interview that nicely explains what they doing.

Facebook vs. iPhone.

Quick update. It's great to meet Jason Knight of Wesabe.com and hear his thoughts. He spoke of choosing a platform, because no one can afford to develop for everything that exists. He feels that the iPhone is a better platform for them than Facebook. Not that he'll ignore Facebook, but the 'always with you' experience of the iPhone is more compelling to him. Very interesting, I hadn't thought of those two in the same space, but to him there's a choice to be made.
