Captchas - The new one and the old one. Google introduces new captcha.
There's a good news for web developers, bloggers, white hats and general internet users and there's a bad news for hackers, black hats, spammers and some of my friends. :p
Google is finally saying bye to the old, irritating and difficult captcha. They are introducing a new captcha which will differentiate between humans and bots in just one click.
This amazing move by Google might reduce spamming (There's no way on earth to stop spamming.) The system uses image recognition as the method for keeping bots away. You might see a picture of an object, then asked to select similar photos from a grid to verify you’re a human. The images on the grid aren't the same object, humans can easily solve these kinds of puzzles, bots can't.
There are a lot of websites that are already using such techniques. I have seen a few websites that ask you to solve a small jigsaw puzzle before proceeding.
Here's an example of Snapchat's Captcha:
Here are a few facts about Captcha:

Every time you solve a Captcha, you create something new. Lots of Love :D

Here are a few facts about Captcha:
- Millions of CAPTCHAs are solved by people every day. reCAPTCHA makes positive use of this human effort by channeling the time spent solving CAPTCHAs into digitizing text, annotating images, building machine learning datasets. This in turn helps preserve books, improve maps, and solve hard AI problems.
- reCAPTCHA improves Google's knowledge of the physical world by creating CAPTCHAs out of text visible on Street View imagery. As people verify the text in these CAPTCHAs, this information is used to make Google Maps more precise and complete. So if you're a Google Maps user, your experience (and everyone else's) will be even better.
- reCAPTCHA helps solve hard problems in Artificial Intelligence. High quality human labelled images are compiled into datasets that can be used to train Machine Learning systems. Research communities benefit from such efforts that help build the next generation of groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence solutions.
- reCAPTCHA digitizes books by turning words that cannot be read by computers into CAPTCHAs for people to solve. Word by word, a book is digitized and preserved online for people to find and read.
