I'm waiting for Facebook to get 6.6.6.6.

That's a DNS service everyone would love to use, right?

If you are Chinese, you would. 1, 6 and 8 are lucky numbers to Chinese.

I suspect that the whole reason why 8.8.8.8 is a Google DNS server is that they were originally only 4.4.4.4 until someone Chinese pointed out that 4 is an unlucky number. :)
