Would you help a spammer? – Don’t answer so quickly
Here is an article from the BBC that caught my eye for creativity and innovation.
It turns out that Captchas are pretty effective methods of slowing down spammers. There really isn’t a good automated way to read the distorted characters. So, what’s the alternative? Simple; enlist a bunch of unsuspecting people to help you. But of course, the average joe just wouldn’t help a spammer by entering the Captcha for nothing so it must be a game! But not just any game, but a soft porn stripper game!
What away to harness Internet testosterone. Now to do something useful!
