Mysterious but cool “to” top level domain on Google DNS
Well, Google is vying for more control of the Internet. I suppose some might see it that why but I just honestly appreciate fast domain name resolution. I also gloat in the satisfaction of knowing that my divorced parent’s will both now being using Google DNS instead of that service originally provided by their respective ISPs, who both are suckers for AT&T (formerly BellSouth who weren’t any better). Why am I relishing at this? I’ve recently accepted that I am and always have been a Google fanboy and that I need to stop hating on Mac fanboys because I’m just the same with allegiance to a different paradigm. If Apple appeals to those who bask in luxury looking items that are riddled with overly engineered software interfaces, then Google appeals to those who just want simple. If you’ve ever been concerned about not letting your browser redirect you following the failure of DNS returning domain’s IP address then look no further.
I recommend listening to Google's simple answers; it's nimble and legitimate.
I think that this is definitely one of Google’s best ideas and really emphasizes their honest aim at net neutrality. I trust the company and believe in their policies regarding DNS and private information. Any reason why someone would likely not use their DNS servers is likely afraid of private information in corporate hands. What are you so paranoid about? Google hires the best engineers and I trust them more than I do my parent’s ISP’s DNS team. Anyway, try Google DNS out.
The Mysterious “to.” top level domain
One of the cooler URLs I just stumbled upon claims to be the world’s smallest URL shortener. The address is http://to./! Very cute Google, let me try 
. Of course this is a Google hacker having fun with the fact that he or she has the power of some people’s internets so long as they set their DNS servers (either IP address can go in you’re control panel’s primary or secondary DNS server text box; see Google help) 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which by the way is by far the coolest domain name (so nerdy, ha). I wonder if the domain name choice is a swipe at China’s total control of their DNS system (“The Great Wall of China”) because 8, eight, the number is lucky in Chinese cultures and Google is making a point of net neutrality with their DNS setup. Who knows.

Hmm… who do we ask?

Hi,
this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with google, as can go to http://to./ also and i’m not using google’s dns.
