[edit] About
UniversalExports.net is one of the oldest James Bond fansites on the internet. Established by Html programmer, Greg Goodman in April of 1996, UnivEx is one of the most well known fansites dedicated to Ian Fleming's fictional creation, James Bond. Not known for its news coverage (leaving that to websites like CBn and MI6), rather its elaborate, well researched feature articles, interviews, editorials and fascinating tidbits concerning both the cinematic and literary creation of 007.
In 2004, both the interviewing and editorial sections were opened, joining the already numerous pages including a Humor Section, Firsts section and as above mentioned Tidbits section. Universal Exports also maintains thorough, in depth information on each and every official Bond film to date. Furthermore, the recently redesigned literature section, accompanied by interviews with authors such as John Gardner and Raymond Benson rounds the site off.
