Google's DNS might respond a bit faster for users near Taiwan and London, but, they are (currently) giving results as if the requester is in the United States, which will drastically slow down any site that uses CDNs like Akamai. So, you may improve a few milliseconds on a DNS lookup, but then lose a boatload of time going to the wrong CDN location to get the site's assets. It (currently) will be a big overall slowdown for a lot of users.

Oh, goody, another new way for Google to track, index, and find a way to market everything in my life!
.
How many “sheeple” will sign up for this without a second thought?
.
It’s bad enough that most people let Google track all of their searches, read all of their emails (Gmail), read all of their voicemails (Google Voice), read all of their whatever-it-is-you-do-on-Google-Wave, and maybe even record/keyword-scan all of their voice calls (Google Voice) without a second thought; now they’ll rush to let Google track every website they visit, whether they googled it or not.
.
That company is really getting frightening in its new and creative ways to spy on everything we do.

I'll stay with Open DNS thank you. I trust Google like I trusted Microsoft in the 90's, not at all.

frightening, this will give elGoog more data than anybody out there (and they already have more data than anybody out there)...is there a reason why you didn't even allude to their ability to aggregate traffic patterns?

Also, I don’t think early reports show them being faster, quite the contrary. India and some parts of Asia we’re not as fast, but that’s quickly changing. North America we’re faster from what I’ve read and heard.
