Orkut and CAPTCHAs

Aha, Orkut is now using CAPTCHAs.

Their scheme:
If you scrap someone with a URL such as www.google.com, you might be an automated malicious entity and thus should prove that you are a human. The way to do that is by passing a very simple CAPTCHA.

If you get the CAPTCHA wrong, you are given another CAPTCHA to break.


They have been having problems with malicious links. I guess this is their way to solve that problem.

Great to see one more example of CAPTCHA !
