Link: MasterCard and Unilever replace Captcha words with brand messages
Description: Unilever and Mastercard are replacing Captcha codes with a brand message that has to be typed in instead of the normal randomised words. “MasterCard Anywhere” is the code on more than 6,000 sites, while Unilever is pushing a “lasts just as long” message for its compressed deodorant cans. The brands are only required to pay for messages that have been read and typed correctly.
