Asirra
The best way to describe Asirra is to tell that it is a capcha with images. Well, it’s not really a captcha, but it serves the same propose: Challenge the user to prove that he is human.
Asirra uses images of cats and dogs has a challenge. The user only has to select the images that correspond to the cats and it’s done. The images come from a partnership between Microsoft research and Petfinder.com.
It’s interesting because, beside the obvious functionality (protect websites from spam), it also helps Pet Finder organization to find new owners for abandoned pets (notice, in the image below, the adopt me link).
