However, if a company provides a free service and wants to utilize a captcha, I don't generally object. I'd rather see a captcha than a pop up any day! :-)Words Done Writehttp://wordsdonewrite.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-88678466321818390652012-01-08T21:17:05.224-08:002012-01-08T21:17:05.224-08:00Amber,

But, if a business utilizes one for its services, I think it's a bright idea to find a way to create some revenue from it. <br /><br />Can I tattoo ANYTHING on you???? ;-)Words Done Writehttp://wordsdonewrite.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-14104032306958793392012-01-07T16:29:52.844-08:002012-01-07T16:29:52.844-08:00My brain has long ago turned to mush now that I am...My brain has long ago turned to mush now that I am in social; you might have to tattoo it on me to remember at this point, and I'm not really joking. <br /><br />I'll typically jump through a few hoops, but if it becomes too much like work it will probably lose me; true story. <br /><br />Good to see you; thanks for sharing.

I'd think, "oh yeah, that's the company with the stoopid captcha ad that really p***ed me off." <br /><br />Maybe it's just me, but I find it really annoying. Still, if they can monetize successfully, like you said, more power to them.

Its really irritating to enter the Captcha's, but thinking about all the people who try to take disadvantage of the place where Captcha's are not set, by spamming, I would say its really good to have one! <br /><br />And this advertising technique really works well, just by reading this post and seeing that image, and not even being a part of that scenario, I have the name FiOS in my head now, its just the thing ad companies would want! castelinokelvinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-86556546920982846912012-01-05T23:26:50.154-08:002012-01-05T23:26:50.154-08:00http://goo.gl/uq2Ychttp://goo.gl/uq2Ycbellbonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-31651170817703806612012-01-05T23:24:07.367-08:002012-01-05T23:24:07.367-08:00http://goo.gl/uq2Ychttp://goo.gl/uq2Ycbellbonnienoreply@blogger.com
