I am certainly on the OpenDNS bandwagon. The new Idea Bank, and Domain Tagging features are great.

I think every firm should have a similar system (idea bank) in place to get customer feedback and know exactly which way the userbase wants the company to evolve. “Web 2.0″ movement brought this concept a lot more forward than it used to be (for online companies anyways).

Seems like skribit is similar in many ways, but for blogs, not companies. Same underlying concept.

I need to bring Idealarm from the dead!

Signed up and giving it a go not that my T3 network was slow, i think the logs should be kool though. Paul how is it you become friends with all these people when you spend all your time at GT?

I have been using DNS for various projects and I think it is a great way to quickly implement several features quickly that would normally require a proxy server.

Paul,

I haven’t used OpenDNS to date, but I’ve nearly signed up about three times. I’m currently connected to GT’s ResNet, so I’m not sure if I would see any real boost. You may have some experience in this area, so do you think I would see a speed increase (or any other benefits) from OpenDNS?

I use it at home, at my church, and a few friends houses. I like it because you can keep most of the junk on the net off my computer and it fixes typos and all that good stuff. I haven’t noticed any speed up though.

Take a look at UserSuggest. A nice service that you can use for getting suggestions for your product/service. http://usersuggest.usersuggest.com

OpenDNS is also my favorite at the moment. I like their “shortcuts”; however, I’ve not really played with the new features that you mentioned above.

Of the several ideas listed on the page now, the ones I’d like to see implemented are the following (in no particular order):

*Domain blocking – at certain times of the day only
*Edit or Remove Function for Submitter of Mis-Labeled Domains
*Login in with OpenID

What would be the advantages of using this service? The idea bank sounds cool though.

i totally use opendns because the dns servers on my university’s network are painfully slow. i also like the search page it gives when a domain doesn’t respond.
