I just finished checking out OpenDNS after I read about it and I must say, its a really novel idea. What it does is really simple, modify your internet connection to point to the DNS provided by the OpenDNS folks and then you can create shortcuts to your visited pages. Like the example given below

 Its sort of like a bookmarking service but at a more abstracted level. Though I don’t see people thronging to use OpenDNS instead of their regular browser bookmarks or social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us , but its a good service for network administrators.
   If you are an network admin for a company, college or an institution, you will be aware of the wealth of useful applications that are present on the intranet. You will also know that many of these applications are hosted on different internal servers and aren’t really that accessible either through their URLs or through their navigational qualities. Many go as far as creating a central repository of links to these internal application, but the larger the list grows , the tougher it becomes for searching the services you require.

 Instead use OpenDNS, and you make mail point to your internal mail server, or HR point to your internal human resources portal. Its a cinch to use and doesn’t require you changing your DNS lookup tables in your gateway machine.
