A software application to change to Google Public DNS and backup the old one

Posted: 24 Dec 2009 04:39 AM PST

I am sure almost everyone reading our blog is aware of Google’s Public DNS service. It is a faster way for looking to make DNS lookups while you use the internet. A day later there were many blog posts across the internet describing how to change from your ISP’s DNS address to Google’s Public DNS.

I came across a software application which does that with a couple of clicks.

It changes your DNS servers to Google Public DNS and backs up the old DNS address you were using.
With another click you can restore your ISP’s DNS address.

Here is a screenshot of the me using Google DNS Helper software.

Try it out and easily move back and forth with Google DNS with just a click of the button.

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 10:06 PM PST

It is year end and a lot of people end up looking back at things they liked doing over the year. On the same lines Digg has a very good tool that helps you look back through the years. It shows the top 10 links that were shared on Digg.com for every year, month and day.

About Digg 365

It seems to be heavily inspired from Google’s Wonder-wheel but it sure makes a lot of sense. Instead of having a bland calendar with dates and categories Digg 365 is a very innovated way to do show archives in a interactive way.
This is not a search feature but a calendar feature. It shows the top 10 links for the year, month and even every day.
You can also sift through eight categories.
The round shaped controls are pretty much awesome and it is a great way to look back and read up the top links.

Try out Digg 365 and tell me if you liked it through your comments. Also discuss if you know of any similar websites which share archives in such a creative way.
