New Service Opens Web Filtering to the Masses

You can now help decide what Web sites your boss should block. A new service from OpenDNS lets users tag sites under categories such as "gambling," "hate" and "social networking." Others can weigh in on whether they agree with those classifications. If there are enough votes, the site gets added to a system used by companies, schools and other organizations to block access. OpenDNS says its approach is better than commercial software because more people are reviewing sites and can do so quickly as new ones pop up.
