I started working on two new projects today.
1: Captchatising.com
As you might have noticed on The Next Web Blog we use the names of our advertisers instead of random characters. Easier for people to understand, great for our advertisers and just as hard for spammers. Today Diederik persuaded me to actually start a new project to develop this for other blogs too. We will build the platform and try to attract advertisers to advertise on blogs hosting our CAPTCHAs. Now we only have to find someone to build it and someone to manage it. Interested?
2: 100 SEO Tips
This project is a lot less ambitious. With every WordPress install comes a plug-in titled ‘Hello Dolly’. It displays random sentences from the famous song with the same title. I took a look at it today and figured I could do something more useful with that technology. So I started a public spreadsheet at Google Docs titled “100 SEO tips” and asked people (via Twitter) to contribute Search Engine Optimization tips there. As soon as I have 100 tips collected I will publish this Plug-in to Wordpress.org. If you want to contribute (I will link to you as a contributor) contact me and I will invite you to the document as an editor.

He I’m Interested ;-)
Rough ‘Interested?’ quote coming over shortly…
I like the idea! You should try to make it a standard wordpress plugin for everybody which they can exploit for their own use and in exchange make one out of ten CAPTCHA’s available for your own advertisers…. And if users don’t like that idea they can buy the commercial free version for $ 10 a year…
Hmm, not a bad idea.
Will you only build a plugin for wordpress or will you include plugins for other languages & frameworks as Captchator does?
You might also consider targeting specific groups. i.e. if I had a bottle store. I’d get your plugin and select spirited related companies i.e. wineries & distilleries.

I vote a strong yes for should be this module. Keeps the riff-raff out.
