I am more important than you

December 28, 2008

Yesterday, an interesting blog post went up on Loic LeMuer’s website requesting an advanced Twitter search and how you should be able to filter search results based on how many followers you have. He simply stated, “Comments about your brand or yourself coming from @techcrunch with 36000 followers are not equal than someone with 100 [...]

The reporter is dead! Long live the reporter!

December 21, 2008

Tonight showed, yet again, how our current news system is filled with holes, and dying a very long and drawn out death. It’s not as if I’m the first to suggest this…it’s been coming for years and years and years. But in the past few months, it has become painfully obvious that both traditional broadcast [...]

How To Get The Most Out Of Twitter

November 30, 2008

For those of you who aren’t Twitter users (also commonly referred to as “twitterers”), this article is meant as an introduction. For those of you who are just getting your feet wet, hopefully this will serve as a guide reviewing some of the popular Twitter tools and applications. First things first If you have no [...]

Show your appreciation, kindness, and support to those you work with

October 28, 2008

Appreciation and kindness should not just be reserved for your personal life. One of my friends always says, “If we can’t figure out how to be the best versions of ourselves at work, when and where are we going to do that?” Because the fact of the matter is, we probably spend more time at [...]

What should I write / post, and where should I put it?

October 27, 2008

I have come to a bit of an impasse with my blog, and all of the other personal properties that I use. The blog that I currently use at GregHuntoon.com isn’t built for the length of posts that I prefer to write, and as such, I don’t write often. The design (ironically) looks unbalanced when [...]

Satisfaction vs. recognition

October 26, 2008

Of course, there’s no reason that these two words need be on opposite sides of the net. They are not opposing forces, and quite often arrive together at the end of a project. And of course, every client would love to walk away from each project with a big fat smile, and a large gold [...]

Do I have the foreign policy experience to be Vice President?

September 26, 2008

Does anyone else find it incredibly scary that a woman who could conceivably become our commander-in-chief has only visited 3 countries in her entire life? Well, four, if you include Canada. Five, if you include Russia, because she can see Putin and his planes circling from the kitchen where she cooks dinner every night for [...]

Blog formatting, a redesign, and another job change

August 20, 2008

I go through times where I post a lot, and then times where I find it difficult to do so. I have like 10-12 blog posts in draft status, and it’s probably because the current design of this site nearly requires the posts to be a minimum length; and that length is not too minimal. [...]

Holding corporate feet to the fire

March 24, 2008

I have decided that I am done with the endless cycle of blind consumerism. We buy, buy, buy, and then buy new again when our products are broken, tired, or defective. How many people actually hold the manufacturers of their products accountable for the shortcomings? How many of you are scared of the customer support [...]

How hard is it to make a great phone?

January 7, 2008

Forgive me, because my cynicism and knowledge are not up to speed when it comes to the mobile phone world. But honestly, my bitterness is growing and catching up quickly. I currently own and rock the Motorola Q, which sadly is often in need of recharge by midday. There are so many things that I [...]
