the famous web security RECAPTCHA was bought by google, its google's way of enhancing security in the internet.
for those who doesnt know captcha,
captcha is a string or an array of characters and numbers that you needed to enter in a form to validate if you are a bot or not.
captcha is very helpful to avoid unwanted spams, fraud and copying web contents, in a simple word. Captcha is Security! and you may ask why would a multi billion dollar company like google would give interest to captcha?
there can be two things!
first is the many users who uses recaptcha,
the second is the Optical Character Recognition, because of its very good algorithm and logic of the recaptcha's OCR,
Recaptcha has a big potential to be big? but how could they achieve it? be big or join big!!! so they joined google. now they are bigger! and huge!!!
