We don't plan to send email to all OpenDNS users often, but the last
couple months have moved fast for us and we've launched a lot of new
features. Since we know you don't all read the blog, we just wanted to
keep you up to date with the great things we've got going on here.
==============================================================
1. OpenDNS celebrates first year!
==============================================================
We've been told we seem mature for our age. But did you know today is
only our first birthday? You helped us rocket to the honored position
of world's fastest growing DNS service. Here's to you smarty pants --
everyone on your network should love you for choosing the best DNS
service in the world. Because of your decision to switch to OpenDNS,
their Internet is faster, more reliable (we've never gone down!) and
easier to navigate. We're working hard to make sure our second year is
even better than our first and as always, we love getting your
feedback. It's what drives our features, keeps us motivated and ensures
you get the best DNS service in the world.
==============================================================
2. What's New with OpenDNS?
==============================================================
Are you using OpenDNS to its full potential? Over the last couple
months we've been busy delivering features that let you better manage
and control your Internet experience. If you're not yet up to speed,
here's a quick overview:
* Domain Blocking -- Many of you asked for a simple way to block a
single domain on your network. With OpenDNS, now you can. You might
have complex firewalls and other gear but they don't easily do the
simple task of blocking myspace.com. We're glad to offer this
service, and thousands of you have taken advantage of it. Oh yeah,
it's free.

* Adult Site Blocking -- If there was one complaint we got about domain
blocking it was that we didn't offer a list of adult sites to block.
Good news - now we do. We teamed up with our friends at St. Bernard
Software to provide an accurate and easy way to block adult sites on
your network. Oh yeah, it's free too.

3. David Ulevitch in the New York Times
==============================================================
You and I have known it all along, but now the rest of the world does,
too - "When an Internet-connected computer or router is configured by
adding OpenDNS.com's two numbers...OpenDNS makes it possible to
access Web sites faster."
Those words are from a New York Times profile on our CEO, David
Ulevitch, that published yesterday. Iconic journalist John Markoff
authored the piece. DNS can be tough to explain, but Markoff did a
fabulous job.

4. Have you thanked your SysAdmin lately?
==============================================================
Odds are you're a techy and well aware SysAdmin Appreciation Day is just
two weeks away. Most of the world has no clue, so OpenDNS is celebrating
all month long, laboring to get you the kudos you deserve. During July
we're announcing a challenge every Monday on our blog - this week the
task is composing a haiku about what it means to be a sysadmin. Winners
are announced on the blog on Fridays.
We feel so strongly you should be shown sysadmin love on SysAdmin
Appreciation Day, we'll even remind your boss that the holiday is fast
approaching. Shoot an email to
[email protected] and give us the
first name and email address of the person who needs reminding.
Oh, and if you're not a sysadmin, don't forget to remember: July 27 is
SysAdmin Appreciation Day. Gifts containing caffeine are good.
