Why not make a legible captcha that’s legible, but say, “Only use the second word”, that’ll screw the bots, but not the people…

And if the bots catch on to it, switch it to use the first word, people only register once, unless they are a bot.

I feel so much better! I thought I was just another inept product of the American education system who forgot how to read under pressure.

Love your video. So nice to know I’m not the only one who finds the captchas mind-boggling, both literally and from the perspective of a communicator aiming to engage audiences.

I loved this post and have tried to hit the “like” button. But irony of ironies, it won’t let me. Your post about not driving away your readers drove me to this one and both hi-light the importance of not making a reader jump through hoops to communicate with you. But I can’t hit the like button here without signing up for Facebook or Twitter.

I’m going to try hitting the “Post as …” button but suspect this will never reach you. I may have to sign up for something else just to comment.

Pity
