In the face of the current economic conditions (i.e., US is at a terrible consuming/producing imbalance, and, well.. the only future in light of this is grim), these quick-buck strategies that seem to appeal only to the lowest common denominator start to seem alluring, indeed, only for the quick bucks. Wouldn't it be a better idea to allocate your time and resources elsewhere? Perhaps at something that may prove to be fruitful in the long term?

I assumed it was an identify-the-cute-pig-picture captcha service.

Point well taken. I usually use a simple request to show interest in a new category, and hope someone interested gets involved. My interest is in something slightly more complicated than the turnkey sites that are out there, as well as more of a helpful tool to entrepreneurs and advertisers - the thesis of the idea is best represented by an "ornot script" but it goes beyond another "me too" site that already exists. My thoughts of adding value using something that is fairly widespread may be futile though.
