Google DNS

http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

Good if you're ISP's Domain Name Servers are balls (like AT&T's apparently).

Switching to Google DNS may increase the speed at which web pages resolve and ultimately load. I noticed a huge difference.

Re: Google DNS

Personally I'm using 4.2.2.2 (Level 3) with 8.8.8.8 (Google) as backup

Re: Google DNS

Wow, sneaky google.

This is the ultimate in browser profiling.

And you could combine dns requests / IP addresses with a high likelhood that anyone doing it will have a gmail address that is linked to their many different services (including buzz, which basically gives you the clients exact real world location) and we now have our new government, which I will now officially name an 'Advertocracy'. (pat pending) Whose official animal will be the rainbow unicorn.

Does google own twitter? I know you can do a google search and get twitter results, so at the very least combine IP address + OAuth + buzz acct with http://pleaserobme.com/ into a mobile enabled mash up and charge bandidos 5.00 per alert for nearby ppl that are out of the house, down the street getting drunk and you'd be rich.

Re: Google DNS

Perhaps you found yourself a new hobby. Make whatever you just said so.
