3Crowd Comes Out Of Stealth, Reveals Its Plan To Disrupt The CDN Market

3Crowd, the new startup from BitGravity co-founder Barrett Lyon, is ready for its close-up. Until now little was known about the company, other than that its backers include Jay Adelson, Kevin Rose, Storm Ventures, and Greenwich Technology Associates. Now the company is talking: 3Crowd is looking to change the way people use content delivery networks, with a goal of making it both cheaper and easier to use these CDNs by making them part of a unified 'cloud'. At least, that's the first thing 3Crowd is hoping to do â€" the company's future goals are even more ambitious. 3Crowd's first product is setting out to help users manage their content across multiple CDNs at the same time, using rule sets to determine which CDNs should be tapped depending on variables like the user's location and which content they're accessing.  The product also looks to make it easy to actually deploy your content to these CDNs â€" you have to create the account with the CDN, but 3Crowd can then walk you through a wizard to get things going.
