Wait...
Double expo isn't the counter for FE now? wtf?!
What's the difference of FD and FE? You still double expo like... slightly slower 2nd expo but still double vs FD right? Cuz it's still sorta FE-ish...

O___O?

For your third expo, which is preferable: one of the main's or one of the naturals, or a min only? Would it depend on yoru starting position?

I used a 1 goon -> 1 dt -> triple expand build the other day without having ever really read about anything similar. I didn't think I was the first mind you.

It probably is not very good in a real game, but in a fun match vs my friend it led to an interesting game (he got stomped by 20-25 gateways of speedlots pumping XD)

Back in the day, double expanding was the standard way to counter a terran expanding.

We V-Tec players have been doing that for years.

Ya this build is actually pretty old. It's designed to counter fd/fast cc. However expoing quickly again can leave you open against a T with good timing/micro. It's viable for sure but it's a build that counts on T not playing perfectly. If they do then you lose. It puts the game in Terran's hands. If they play exactly how they need to they will win, if they don't you will be at a significant advantage. When I use builds like this I like to take another gas expansion and tech fast arbs. And ya this is pretty much the build AiurZ linked to that I posted long long ago during the LT days. The difference is nowadays you dont have to expand to another main because most maps dont have cliffable naturals these days.
