how do they stay up to date on what they block and what they allow?


From the article:

OpenDNS also uses their community to drive new features and tag new malware sites. Users submit ideas and vote on them in a Digg-like interface. And when a user blacklists a site and tags it with a category, other users are asked to verify. If they do, the site is added to the general category blacklist as well.

Sounds exploitable...


There have been problems with that kind of approach before, for example for companies that ended up on spam blacklists without justification.

I don't like it :-(
