Bill Hartzer is a blogger, writer, and marketer with a passion for writing content that people want to read. BillHartzer.com does not publish articles about fluffy rainbows and feel-good, shareable funny cat photos.

What you’ll find here is content (in many different forms) about the stuff that really matters: topics that help you understand the internet, understand how the web works, and how to do your job better. If you’re a marketer like me, you have a passion for everything internet, everything tech, and everything that’s the latest “gadget, app, website, or technology”. We’re early adopters, and want to know.
