Lyon left BitGravity in June 2009 and with initial funding from Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose, he founded 3Crowd. 3Crowd's first products provide businesses with greater control over existing Content Delivery Networks by allowing them to use CDN's based on factors like price and service. In 2012, Lyons 3crowd changed its name to XDN Inc. Lyon cited the reason for this as to "reflect the simplicity and elegance of our new federated network".

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or interests:
“Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Are we bereft of citizenship because we are mothers, wives and daughters of a mighty people? Have women no country—no interests staked in public weal—no liabilities in common peril—no partnership in a nation’s guilt and shame?”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
