Google Gotcha!

In the interest of fair play, I have posted the captcha’s from both MSN and Yahoo. For those who may have missed the earlier post, Google also requires a Captcha to register for their Gmail service. Helping someone sign up for a gmail account the other day, I had to explain that this was required, but there was no alternative to having a sighted person assist the process. Unfortunately, for those who do not have sighted assistance, there is no other alternative or instructions for alternate access.

Google's Gmail service requires a visual cue for access.

I’ll be speaking at Search Engine Strategies next week in San Jose, and both Google and Yahoo are making their engineers available to answer questions. This is at the top of my list, so I will hopefully have some news after next week.
