Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart = CAPTCHA
The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University. At the time, they developed the first CAPTCHA to be used by Yahoo.
Carnegie Mellon University claim to have a CAPTCHA plugin for wordpress but is it open source ? If not why not ? and if so where can i get the source code (instead of just an API key) from ? Finally I completely disagree with their "win-win" scenario. In my view if AI cracks the code then it becomes useless !
Here are some other Turing Test variants that already seem useless (in their present form) to me :
Fill in the gaps in your flickr, del.icio.us, pownce, last.fm social media network mesh by just logging in to your MyBlogLog and goto your MyBlogLog Connector page http://www.mybloglog.com/user/connector
Connector helps you fill in the connection gaps with your friends across the services you use. If you're friends on MyBlogLog, you probably should be friends on the other services you use. This will help you do just that.
Click a green plus icon (
) below to connect to a friend at a service.
If you want to open all connections with a friend, click a green arrow icon (
)
and multiple windows will open with your friend's profiles.
As oAuth becomes available, we will be able to make connections without opening a new window.
Yahoo! MapMixer lets you mashup your maps with the Yahoo Maps API !
I missed this news when it was announced but if Yahoo! Mail can go to "infinity and beyond" for FREE then maybe Yahoo! flickr can too !

As Yahoo! Mail approaches its 10-year anniversary, I’m the lucky one who gets to announce that we will begin offering everyone unlimited email storage starting in May 2007. To mark the occasion, I checked in with David Nakayama, our group vice president of engineering, for some perspective on this milestone. In case that name doesn’t ring a bell, he’s the developer of RocketMail, one of the world’s first webmail products, which Yahoo! acquired and relaunched as Yahoo! Mail in 1997
Doesn't it make you proud to have been a pioneering RocketMail user (if like me you were one) !
Create groups for each month and remember to upload old / hidden photos each and every month BEFORE they are automatically hidden !
For example for my flickr account here are my :
current (unhidden) photos
already hidden photos

One of my del.icio.us contacts has just posted a link to Yahoo!'s new service exclusively for teachers !
It will let teachers create and share standards-based materials and connect to other teachers.
