mentalfloss.com — Last week we talked about KittenAuth, a novel CAPTCHA system used to differentiate between humans and spambots ? by using pictures of kittens. Today let?s take a look at reCAPTCHA, the system in use by this very blog. What does it do, and why is it good for humanity?

Anything but MySpace's captchas.

That's a pretty damn cool concept, and nice to see that it's actually in use

Yeah so all those spammers have to do is answer the captchas themselves a few times, then let their software do the work!Excellent idea! -_-

I saw a segment about the site on Wired Science few months ago. The guy who started the site did a great behind the scenes demo. Very good project.
