I just switched my DNS to openDNS because Verizon's DNS servers just stopped working. It's a business account and for the amount of money that is spent with them, it's hard to believe that the service they provide is so lousy. I've been happy all day with openDNS, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've noticed that OpenDNS returns different results on Google for some reason. A bit strange when your trying to find out where your site really exists in the results.

That is why you should use the Google Global Firefox plugin

No doubt I've seen some really weird thing happening with opendns over the past couple months. I've noticed that all my search results on opendns are totally different then when using my ISP's DNS servers.

Just sign up and take a look, though you might need to hunt down a working invite code for SU.PR

This wasn't a DNS error, it was OpenDNS blocking the site - the IP addresses you provided are for the DNS at OpenDNS, thus wouldn't solve the problem.

Lots of the services provide extensive click statistics, one of the major failings of TinyURL.
I haven't actualy played with Tr.im, there are so many of them.

I have been using http://tr.im for shortening my URLs... it enables a follow-through statistic! Awesome!

I use bit.ly for my own URL shortening purposes ... with the recent surge (nay, crescendo) in Twitter traffic, it's not surprising to see such a tremendous increase in bit.ly traffic over the past few months. I can't imagine OpenDNS will have them blocked for much longer.

I love the OpenDNS - the "open hierarchy" concept seems like it can/should be applied virtually everywhere. What other advantages are there to it?

Hello guys, im just wanna share you about my idea how to avoid this DNS error just follow the step.

First thing to do is go to Local Area Connection then Click properties, tick Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then go to properties then click "use the following DNS Service addresses " then enter in Preffered DNS Server: 208.67.222.222 and Alternate DNS server put 208.67.220.220. Thats it. I hope it will help! thanks
