Genius Idea: Web advertising that consumers literally can't ignore.Captchas are an easy way to prevent automated bots from diminishing the quality of a website, which is why you've probably spent a good amount of time squinting at their bent, fuzzy text. In other words, Captchas are excellent advertising real estate. "People are not paying attention to banner ads," says Solve Media CEO Ari Jacoby, who cofounded the company in September 2010.
Solve Media replaces Captchas with ads that require consumer participation. More than 2,000 publishers, including AOL, the Tribune Company and Meredith Corporation, have partnered with Solve Media.

Skitch is an amazing Mac application that’s changed the way people capture, annotate and share images. Chief Skitchers, Cris Pearson and Keith Lang are moving from Australia and joining Evernote to lead a significantly expanded Skitch team focused on supercharging the product. The Evernote Story Our journey at Evernote has been an exciting one.
In 2007, two teams came together to develop a new type of product, a service that would help the world remember everything. In 2008, that vision turned into the Evernote you know today. Why Skitch? We were drawn to Skitch (har har) for one simple reason: we love and use their product with Evernote. Skitch will make Evernote better (and vice versa) As Skitch users will attest, this is one of the most innovative, easy-to-use applications available on Mac. What’s changing? Everything you currently love about Skitch will stay the same and we’ll be quickly introducing a lot of new, exciting stuff.
