OpenDNS Introduces Shortcuts

I use OpenDNS because my ISP’s DNS servers suck. That’s why I’m glad they now provide customizable address bar shortcuts. For instance, OpenDNS users can now set “NYT” as a shortcut for NYTimes.com. You can even pass parameters through URLs: for instance, “g polence” can Google Filipina cosplayer Jerry Polence. Since DNS is configured at the router, you and your network users can set shortcuts for your whole home or office.

If for your ISP’s DNS servers suck — likely when you intermittently can’t get to domains your friends on other ISPs can — try OpenDNS and enjoy the shortcuts as a bonus to smooth surfing.
