Google: Send me more Spam

February 12, 2008

What comes to mind when you see words like "edstyla" and "racke?" The name of a law firm? Google lately has been making me type in such nonsense before performing a routine search. Google thinks I might be a spammer or a bot and wants to make sure a real human is sitting at the keyboard so it makes me type in those squiggly letters.

It’s enough of pain to drive me to Yahoo! And it’s so unpredictable. Sometimes it’ll happen for a day or three times in a row. It has nothing to do with the search: I typed in Spam is Great, Send me more Spam and I am a bot and I went directly to search.

Does this happen to you?

This started happening to me today. My opinion is that they are taking an aggressive ''do no evil'' step.... I don''t think they care that many will either go to yahoo, msn or ask to avoid it.
