When we noticed YCombinator's Paul Graham was an easyDNS member we asked him to help us kick off a new format for the "Who Uses easyDNS" blog channel. Rather than just list off this company or that notable tech personality, we're conducting short interviews with them so we can all get a better idea what our membership is all about.
Paul Graham is a champion of the LISP programming language, a prominent essayist and author of the book
Hackers and Painters and a VC who who co-founded the seed-stage funder
Y Combinator.
