Kyle York's blog

This past week, our team from Dyn Inc., in collaboration with CircleID, has been bringing you a timely video blog with updates from ICANN 37 in Nairobi, Kenya (March 7-12, 2010). This is not the first time that Gray Chynoweth, our GC & VP, Business Operations, has traveled the globe in support of ICANN, but this is certainly the best video blog we've ever delivered.

How Active Failover, Load Balancing, Global Server Load Balancing and CDN Management are done in the cloud.

I’m not going to spill the beans on that first sub-head just yet. Read this intro, first!

Below you will find an email that was just sent out to UNH (the largest state school in New Hampshire where our Biz Dev Manager, Josh graduated from). Emails have also been sent to Bentley University (my alma mater where I spoke on a sales and management panel yesterday) and SNHU (the local university where many of our interns come from and our Strategic Partner Manager, Brian Brady, got his degree) in an effort to find a Business Development Representative (BDR) for our fast-growing Internet business in Manchester, NH. We tweeted this call-to-action out as well: http://bit.ly/bDLVBW

Encouraging Users to "Tweet Nerdy to Me"

We've been getting a lot of great props over the past month regarding our utilization of social media channels and I wanted to use Discourse to ensure that our audience at Dyn.com got a chance to see what all the buzz is about and continue to learn more about why we made the SM shift and dove in with both feet.

Let's Hope it's Legit. We're Ready to Lead the Charge

We recently received some communication about a new website aimed to bring transparency to the world of managed DNS. This 3rd party site's objective appears to be to about "comparing facts, numbers, statistics," with no spin, sales bias, marketing fluff, or the new term I recently learned, "marchitecture."

Now that content channels like Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr and Facebook are combining forces with blogs, community forums, SEM, specialty IT help sites and news sources specific to the Web 2.0 and Social Media space (i.e.

For nearly 12 years technology die-hards have used our services to do a ton of very cool things that everyone (not just the super techie) would love to make happen, but may not know how to accomplish. Until now, most of the world outside of our core users and fans probably had no clue the types of solutions Dyn Inc. offers. DNS? Dynamic DNS?

I was kicking around the World Wide Web this morning doing research on customer support, client services and account management and what companies are doing to “stand out”. In the end, what I reaffirmed for myself is that the “stand out” characteristics and attitudes of successful companies aren’t simply pinned down to client relations, but to companies overall operations, from the bottom up. Empowering staff to lead is what Dyn Inc. is all about.

Keeping the Pressure on DNS Industry Competition

Over the past couple of months we’ve been busy searching and bringing on some key talent to join the Dyn Inc. sales and marketing team. I, personally, have been traveling around, interviewing candidates, networking like mad, and determining the best possible way to grow brand awareness, up market share, and blow away revenue projections. Things have without a doubt been progressing nicely, but there were a few holes that needed to be filled… so we went out and filled them.

We at Dyn Inc. have always lived by the mindset that if you build great technology, consumers will find it and share their findings in the circles they play and work in. This has proven successful for 10+ years. The great technology continues to get better, but instead of relying merely on word of mouth marketing grown organically, we’ve taken it to the streets, started shouting from the rooftops, and are inviting you to unite with us and become even louder. Let’s push the chatter as far as we can take it and take Dyn Inc. to a whole new level.
