Random Musings

So I was trying to download something, and before it would let me, it had me enter a CAPTCHA...for all of you that live under a ball of silly putty (a rock sounds too harsh, and you can choose the color of silly putty :)), according to wikipedia,

A CAPTCHA (pron.: /ˈkæp.tʃə/) is a type of challenge-response test used in computing as an attempt to ensure that the response is generated by a human being. 

 And to my surprise, Discover was advertising on the CAPTCHA page.  Brilliant!  You need to enter their slogan to be able to download.

Though I admit, I kinda like ads...no, that's a lie...I'm an advertising obsessee (if that isn't a word, it is now)...so obviously I would notice this, but still, in the subconscious, a user has now seen the Discover ad, and participated in the message by typing it.

Once again, I say brilliant...note to self, who is Discover's agency and/or media planning company

A while ago I saw a really good, interactive ad.  Though, if they weren't tracking what people chose during the ad, then the ad was completely useless...(trust me, though tracking may seem obvious, it isn't always executed)

So I clicked and got this...

And then you could drag in what you felt made up your Chateau.


That's all for now :)
