We all know the value and benefit of using CAPTCHA in forms. They can save you some serious headaches from mail bots and they're easy enough to implement. However, they come with their problems.
Our main complaint about the vast majority of CAPTCHA's is how unreliable many of them can be. We regularly end up having to refresh the image in an attempt to get something that can actually be read. They can also be off-putting to users.
Not any more. We've discovered something called Vidoop CAPTCHA and it is completely free.
We'll not give the secret away before you click the link - but you can trust us when we say it is well worth taking a look. It's unique, very entertaining, but more importantly it is secure and almost certain to make a user think about the fact you've put effort into something that used to be boring - and made it very different indeed!
Videoop.com CAPTCHAIf you think the CAPTCHA we've provided the link to is a little over the top for your liking, there are plenty more freely available scripts to choose from.
A good place to start is The Free Country where you'll find a decent selection of CAPTCHA of various different styles.
If none of those captcha your imagination (sorry!), then try Woork for another good list of freely available scripts.
