New at DNJournal.com: The Dwayne Rowland & Exody Story

[Ron Jackson]

A new cover story has just been posted at Domain Name Journal that all Exody users (and those considering their service) should find interesting:

Farmer Feeds the World With Domain Data: The Dwayne Rowland & Exody Story

It's about a Georgia farmboy who started writing computer programs in the 1960's (when they ran on vacuum tubes instead of microchips!), then went on to start a variety of innovative businesses, including a data service relied on by domain name pros all over the world today.

You've heard about Silicon Valley, now it's time to learn about the Silicon Swamp - a remote southern farm that is home to mules, horses, chickens, peacocks, ATV's, the Rowland family and a domain industry household name - Exody. Hope you enjoy it!.

Thanks much, Duke!
Look forward to the read while I'm on vacation later this week.

Me too. I offered to give him a stack of reprints of the article in exchange for some of his 2-character domains, but he wouldn't go for it. :D
