One Million Monkeys Typing is a community story-telling site.

1. Read
Start reading. When you finish a snippet of text, click 'read more'. You will be presented with three unique paths that continue the story. If you like your options, keep reading.

2. Write
If you reach an end, or simply don't like the story's trajectory, graft a new snippet and take the story's direction into your own hands.

3. Publish
Publish so that others may add on to your story. If it gets ranked well and has enough offshoots it stays, if not, watch it wither
and die.

I'm sorry for closing this app. Flickr keeps killing my developer key. Until this gets resolved this page will be down.

Note: I'm in the process of working with Flickr to come up with something that works for both of us. You diggers are just too cool. :)

The reCAPTCHA project
About 60 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. In each case, roughly ten seconds of human time are being spent. Individually, that's not a lot of time, but in aggregate these little puzzles consume more than 150,000 hours of work each day. What if we could make positive use of this human effort? reCAPTCHA does exactly that by channeling the effort spent solving CAPTCHAs online into "reading" books...

reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read correctly...
