it is a really good idea. reently there was much buzz aboout avatar adv (digitalpoint.com forums) as a means of promotion, now comes this idea. both are a good fit to extend the borders of traditional online promotion.

Yes, brilliant.

I know understand why you don't drink, I can't just imagine what would be the effects on your mind.

Unbelievable idea - seeing and typing the words would cause a "strong" impression (as apposed to just seing an ad).

Research has proven that writing (I would assume, also, typing) = retention and, also, surprisingly, writing = believing.

Thats a nice idea. The question is who gets the money an who builds the captchas? The Software company or the Site owner?

I did not notice before to post a comment on this news but our emails are visible. Very bad practice since all of us could possibly get spammed in the next weeks.

It'd be way more respectfull to advise comment posters that their email won't be masked or to do not show it at all.

And what is worst, email is mandatory to post!!!!

Of course, by putting recognizable words in captchas, rather than random strings of numbers and letters, you may increase the likelihood a nonhuman could guess them...

Great idea!!

[Rédigé par: dubuc]

Brilliant idea. Hard to develop on a large scale. You must have loads of captchas to secure comments from spamming.
Not easy to manage, more complicated that adwords...

[Rédigé par: Ed'n blog]

Very good !!!!! Next step : be paid for it !!!

[Rédigé par: Maggie Fox]

You are going to make one million dollars with that idea.

[Rédigé par: Max Bleyleben]

Great idea!

Seth Godin had exactly the same idea on his blog just the other day.

[Rédigé par: Charles]

OOOOOPS, no need to worry. Your email address is obfuscated in the code (view source) so email harvestors will not pick it up.

[Rédigé par: Emmanuel]

Amazing !

very nice, simple and funny, i will try soon

[Rédigé par: OOOOOPS]

Th@nks for the precision.
I will sleep better tonight!

[Rédigé par: Pjotr]

At first, I also thought: This is a great idea. But there will be a problem soon: Hackers/Spammers & Co. will fast adapt your approach and they will send out their bots trying all these major brands to get access. So better be prepared... ;-)

You should have post "Typepad" instead of "pepsi" ;)
You are not ready ! :p

[Rédigé par: Mgccl]

Wow... I would make something like that... O.o

Nice work, I like it! This is one of those "oh, wait, what if you could...ya, I'm sure someone has thought of it, I'll just do a quick search" ideas. I searched and here you are. A little late on this one (2 years), but hey, you can't always have the first idea.
