TEDx: Captcha and Duolingo — massive-scale online collaboration

Great talk from TEDx at Carnegie-Mellon University: “After re-purposing CAPTCHA so each human-typed response helps digitize books, Luis von Ahn wondered how else to use small contributions by many on the Internet for greater good. At TEDxCMU, he shares how his ambitious new project, Duolingo, will help millions learn a new language while translating the Web quickly and accurately — all for free.”
