Google has once again stepped up and is now offering another free service to make our lives more efficient. The search giant announced today that they will now be offering DNS servers for the public at no cost. This comes in addition to the multitude of services already offered by Google, such as Gmail, Google Voice and Google Sites.
You can set up your computer to use Google’s DNS servers by following their instructions here: Using Google Public DNS
Let’s say that I have a gmail address: prasu@gmail.com
Now if I am signing up for a newsletter at XYZ Corp. I can register with the email address prasu+xyz@gmail.com You can put in any extra alphanumeric information after the plus sign and it still gets delivered to prasu@gmail.com. Furthermore you can apply a filter in Gmail to process the email a certain way based on the email address that you signed you for (prasu+xyz@gmail.com).
One handy use of this feature is to track where emails are coming from so if you started to get spammed for instance you will know which address was passed onto a third party.
So…Google thinks Twitter is…retarded? over capacity? down? useless? lame? pointless? slow? a waste of time?What do you think Twitter is?
