What I have to say may be of great interest to you. Did you know that an overwhelming majority of businesses, organizations and celebrities buy likes and followers? What, you thought your competitor’s likes and followers are organic and naturally gained? Ha ha. Just recently Gangman Style ( <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0</a> ) reached a record 2 billion views. Now imagine the scale of Gangnam Style’s popularity being applied to your business! This is exactly how I deliver results to my clients - and I assure you that you’ll be overwhelmingly pleased with the outcome.</p> </blockquote> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/justinhileman/blog/~4/47sr1KSAUhg" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> http://justinhileman.info/article/im-sorry-to-write/ tag:justinhileman.info,2014-02-04:/article/create/ 2014-02-05T02:16:07Z 2014-02-05T02:19:32Z <blockquote> <p>when you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow &amp; exclude people. so create.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://favstar.fm/users/_why/status/881768089">why the lucky stiff</a></p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/justinhileman/blog/~4/0ci1TL3Detw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> http://justinhileman.info/article/create/ tag:justinhileman.info,2013-12-31:/article/my-year-in-cities-2013/ 2013-12-31T21:08:47Z 2013-12-31T21:12:33Z <p>I spent at least one night in each of these cities in the past year. 2013 was a good one:</p> <ul> <li>Austin, Texas</li> <li>Beijing, China</li> <li>Brooklyn, New York</li> <li>Gorak Shep, Nepal</li> <li>Hong Kong, China</li> <li>Kathmandu, Nepal</li> <li>Lukla, Nepal</li> <li>Namche Bazaar, Nepal</li> <li>New York, New York</li> <li>Periche, Nepal</li> <li>Portland, Oregon</li> <li>Princess, California</li> <li>San Francisco, California</li> <li>Santa Monica, California</li> <li>Sedona, Arizona</li> <li>Shenzhen, China</li> <li>Sunnyside, Washington<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote">1</a></sup> </li> </ul> <p>Where did you go?</p> <div class="footnotes"> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> <p>It seemed like a good idea at the time :-/ <a href="#fnref:1" class="reversefootnote">↩</a></p> </li> </ol> </div> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/justinhileman/blog/~4/ZotFpFWs4Dc" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> http://justinhileman.info/article/my-year-in-cities-2013/ tag:justinhileman.info,2013-12-30:/article/the-true-new-yorker/ 2013-12-31T00:51:50Z 2013-12-31T00:51:12Z <img src="/article/the-true-new-yorker/new-yorker.jpg" alt="The true New Yorker"> <blockquote> <p>The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding.</p> </blockquote> <p>— John Updike</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/justinhileman/blog/~4/fkwYd6lHZu8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> http://justinhileman.info/article/the-true-new-yorker/ tag:justinhileman.info,2013-11-28:/article/how-not-to-respond-when-someone-calls-you-on-stealing-their-site/ 2013-11-29T05:51:49Z 2013-12-29T17:09:07Z <p>Not only is <strong>Brian I.
